Avoid paying customs duty and VAT!

For businesses regularly moving goods between the EU and the UK, the question of how to avoid paying customs duty and VAT on goods that were previously in free circulation is one with a clear and legitimate answer. Returned Goods Relief is a customs procedure specifically designed to address this situation, allowing goods that were originally exported from a territory to be re-imported without incurring customs duty or VAT, provided the right conditions are met and the procedure is correctly administered.

For many organisations, the administrative requirements around RGR have historically been a barrier to claiming the relief they are entitled to. The need to provide documentary proof, track the original export, and demonstrate compliance to customs authorities adds a layer of complexity that puts some businesses off entirely, leaving significant savings unclaimed.

Irish Revenue has confirmed that C4T's automated customs management solution, CAS, provides all the details and documentary proof needed to claim Returned Goods Relief, with no INF-3 form necessary. This is a significant practical advantage for businesses operating cross-border flows between Ireland, the UK, and beyond, removing a longstanding administrative hurdle and making it straightforward to claim the relief available.

In this video, you will discover how RGR works in CAS, what the process looks like in practice, and how it can deliver immediate and ongoing cost savings for your business.
