Customs advisory services are designed to support your business in ensuring that its customs activities are both compliant and efficient. As part of broader customs consultancy services, this support may relate to a specific technical issue or form part of a longer term customs strategy. As such, customs advisory services cover a broad range of activities across the customs landscape.
Delivered by experienced and knowledgeable advisers, BKR provides a wide range of customs consulting services and customs advisory services. As experienced UK customs consultants, we support businesses across a variety of sectors and levels of complexity. For example, we can support with the following areas.
• HMRC queries and assessments
• Risk, Senior Accounting Officer compliance and financial auditing as part of customs compliance consulting
• Tariff classification, customs valuation and origin
• Supply chain support and customs advisory
• Cost saving opportunities identified through customs consultancy
• Special procedures and technical customs advisory services
This list is not exhaustive, and our customs consultancy services can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your business.
At BKR, we have a dedicated team of experienced and knowledgeable professionals to help you navigate the complexities of customs through our customs consultancy and customs advisory services. Our advisers come from a variety of backgrounds, including freight forwarding, former HMRC officers and experienced consultants with in house expertise.

Retained Customs Support
Sometimes a business simply needs reliable support at the end of the phone, ready to assist with its customs requirements as they arise. BKR offers retained customs consultancy services where our involvement is agreed in advance, allowing us to respond quickly to your needs without the need for additional paperwork or separate agreements.
Our clients benefit from consistent and ongoing customs advisory services, with our advisers developing a detailed understanding of the business and its activities over time. This approach is also cost effective, as we offer reduced hourly rates for retained clients. Support can be used across a range of areas, including tariff classification, customs and brokerage queries, technical advice and communication with HMRC, similar to working with a dedicated customs clearance consultant.
Ad Hoc and Project Specific Support
In many cases, a business may require support for a specific query or project. BKR works closely with clients to understand their challenges and identify the most appropriate solution through our customs consulting services. Once the scope has been agreed, the work is undertaken by our advisory team, who will carry out detailed research and provide clear, accurate guidance grounded in customs legislation and presented in a practical and accessible way.
Our clients engage us across a wide range of projects, from supporting HMRC audits and defending significant duty assessments, through to large scale classification exercises covering extensive product ranges, and many other bespoke customs consultancy services.

Compliance and Health Checks
BKR’s customs compliance health checks form part of our wider customs compliance consulting offering and provide businesses with an opportunity to identify risks and opportunities that may not currently be visible. Our approach involves a detailed review of your customs activities, working closely with your team to understand existing processes while also highlighting any areas of concern or improvement.
For businesses that carry out regular internal audits or fall within the scope of the Senior Accounting Officer regime, our team can provide additional assurance through our customs advisory services that compliance requirements are being met and that no material risks are impacting your obligations.
