In terms of the Customs Act it is permissible for importers to be able to claim customs duties proven to be overpaid, provided the claim is submitted within two years of the date of the original entry.
The submissions of these claims is very onerous and requires specialist legal knowledge of the Customs Act and the Customs Tariffs.
During the process of our audit we will also report to the client our opinions as to any discrepancies in customs compliance needing rectification, suggestions of cost savings in freight and clearing charges and indicate where we believe supply chain management can be changed to mitigate risk of loss or damage and streamline systems to achieve greater efficiency.
