Have you been approached by HMRC for a Customs Audit? If not, are you confident that your business is fully audit ready?
HMRC have significantly increased their compliance workforce, with a clear focus on ensuring that businesses involved in importing and exporting goods are meeting their customs obligations. If selected for audit, HMRC will notify you of a visit date, and they will expect your records, procedures, and compliance controls to be fully in order.
Preparation is not something to leave until you receive that notification.
Essex Chamber of Commerce understands the growing scrutiny businesses are facing. We know that many companies are unsure whether their customs processes, documentation, valuation methods, commodity codes, or origin declarations would withstand detailed inspection.
That’s where we can help.
Our customs specialists can work with you before HMRC arrive, reviewing your procedures, identifying compliance gaps, and ensuring you are fully prepared for an audit by HM Revenue & Customs.
