THE BRIEF
Duty Recovery
Despite having already worked with one of the so called “big-4” as part of their post-BREXIT strategy, the business presented what initially appeared as an isolated query on the eligibility of a specific product to obtain preferential treatment when imported into the UK.
Whilst left unaddressed, this query had resulted in 7-figure sums of import duty being paid on imported goods, which had not been budgeted for and was believed to have been mitigated as part of their post-BREXIT planning.
As such, BKR was asked to provide a second opinion and advise on potential strategies to both reclaim and avoid these duties on future imports.
