Auditable by design

Every declaration is a legal position you have to

Importer-of-record liability never transfers. Not to a broker, not to a forwarder, not to a 3PL.

!The one thing nobody can outsource

Four decisions. One liability.
All of it yours.

HMRC and EU customs authorities hold the importer of record liable — whether you file it yourself or hand it to a broker, forwarder, 3PL or advisor. And it isn't just the declaration. Every one of the four decisions below carries its own exposure, on its own.

PILLAR 01

Classification

The wrong commodity code is underpaid duty — recoverable from you, with penalties, years later.

PILLAR 02

Origin & Tariffs

A preference claim you can't evidence is retrospective duty on every shipment you claimed it for.

PILLAR 03

Customs Declaration

The entry is filed in your name. The audit lands on you — not on whoever filed it.

PILLAR 04

Indirect Tax

Import VAT wrongly accounted or recovered is its own assessment, on its own timeline.
