Declaration Management
Properly and efficiently managing declarations is fundamental for any company that engages in international trade. Accuracy is essential to managing risk, calculating duty and tax liability, ensuring legal and regulatory compliance, producing required reporting, and facilitating the smooth flow of goods across borders. Yet processing large volumes of declarations while staying on top of constantly changing legal requirements and filing processes for multiple countries is often beyond the capability of in-house resources.
How it works
Discovery
Our team will help define the declaration procedure requirements for the logistics flows you want to automate or insource. As there is a vast number of options in declaration procedures, some guidance by our experts will help define the project implementation scope.
Onboarding
We follow a proven onboarding methodology to configure the declaration software to meet your specific needs, maximising opportunities for automation. We then work side-by-side with your team to set up and test integration with your ERP and business processes.
Day-to-day
Our managed services team will take over monitoring, validating, and executing day-to-day declarations operations, either in full or as an augmentation of your customs team. We offer both standard hours and round-the-clock services depending on your requirements. Regardless of our level of involvement, you retain full visibility into your customs operations, giving you insights and control to optimise based on what is working.
Our solution + software approach ensures that all declaration requirements are met, from end to end, reducing the risk of delays or rejections at customs and enhancing your overall supply chain efficiency.
