Special Procedures eBook
Customs Special Procedures represent one of the most valuable and underutilised tools available to businesses engaged in international trade. For companies importing goods that will be processed, stored, repaired, or re-exported, the right Special Procedure can mean the difference between paying full import duties upfront and deferring or eliminating that cost entirely. The financial impact can be significant, yet many organisations are not taking full advantage of what is available to them.
Customs Special Procedures can help companies save or delay customs duty costs on imported goods, resulting in a positive impact on their business. From inward processing and customs warehousing to temporary admission and returned goods relief, each procedure offers distinct advantages depending on your trade flows, industry, and operational model. Understanding which procedures apply to your business and how to implement them correctly is the first step towards unlocking those benefits.
The good news is that getting started does not have to be complicated. With the right knowledge and the right systems in place, Special Procedures are entirely manageable, even for organisations without large dedicated customs teams.
This e-book will familiarise you with:
- The different types of Customs Special Procedures available in both the EU and UK
- The high-level requirements for using them
- How to take advantage of them without putting an undue burden on your customs organisation
