We offer monthly management services of your customs approvals, compliance, data and return obligations
We can either manage and maintain your records and submit the BODs on your behalf, which is a specialist skill and requires knowledge of auditing customs declarations alongside your approval terms and conditions.
Under the new Freeport legislation, the customs site operator is required to monitor all activity at a level beyond their normal obligations. We have developed systems to facilitate this and monitor the activity on behalf of the ports.
Through our bespoke PowerBi solution, we are able to analyse your monthly import and export activity and report back on your compliance. We assess if the correct levels of duty are paid, along with classification compliance, deferment usage and more.
Our team are able to complete and submit W5D and W1 returns on behalf of excise producers and warehouse keepers. We can also provide audit services on your activity to ensure compliance.
Our team can support companies with their export activity by acting as their in house customs department, raising the relevant commercial documentation required for export markets across the world such as invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, preference statements and more.
For companies holding AEO, we provide regular (monthly - annual) auditing services to ensure ongoing compliance with the AEO requirements. This includes provision of tools for internal use, updating manuals and any a full report for use in HMRC audits.
Being a B2B service provider in the textile industry, we were surprised to receive a large tax bill from HMRC for the import and export of customer owned goods we had worked on over several years. This was despite us providing HMRC with what we thought was the relevant information for Inward Processing Relief.
Thankfully we got in touch with Brightfinch, who took on the issue, liaising with HMRC, customs agents and hauliers. They successfully managed to resolve all the outstanding issues with HMRC and bring down our total liability back to zero.
Brightfinch were very professional, efficient and effective, and without them we would have faced an arduous task of resolving the issues with HMRC. Due to their skill and professionalism, we have continued working with Brightfinch to make sure that we are compliant going forward, confident in the knowledge that our import and export declarations are in good hands.
