Classification & Tariff Optimisation
Accurate classification and tariff optimization are critical for facilitating seamless customs clearance, mitigating delays, and minimizing tax liabilities. Proper classification of goods under the Harmonized System (HS) nomenclature is imperative to avoid misclassification, which may result in increased duties, penalties, and delayed consignments. Tariff optimization enables businesses to capitalize on preferential trade agreements, claim duty drawbacks, and utilize applicable exemptions, thereby reducing overall tax exposure. Collectively, these measures ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks, enhance cost-efficiency, and expedite the clearance of goods through customs channels.
