Declaration Audit

Classification Audit

The commodity code sets the duty rate. Get it wrong and you overpay on every consignment until someone finds it. We find it.

Every declaration filed in your name carries a commodity code. That code was chosen by your broker, from a product description someone else wrote, often years ago. Nobody checks it again.

We do. We test every code on every declaration against the duty rate applied, against the product description used and against the tariff in force on the date of entry. Not a sample. Every line.

What we test

Does the commodity code match the duty rate that was actually paid
Does the product description match the tariff description for that code
Was the code valid in that regime on the date of entry
Is the same product coded consistently across brokers and across entries
Do the preference and origin claims stand up against the code used

Worked example

An audit finds a commodity code and a duty rate that do not align. The same audit finds the product description on the entry does not match the tariff description for the code that was used. Two findings, one root cause, and a recoverable overpayment sitting behind it.

What we do not do

We do not classify your goods. We audit the classification that was submitted on your behalf.

We do not file declarations. Where a finding supports a claim, we prepare the claim and the evidence behind it. Your licensed broker or authorised representative files it.

What you get

A finding for every incorrect code, with the source document attached
The duty impact of each finding, in sterling
A prioritised fix list in plain business language
A claim pack where the finding supports recovery
