Duty suspension approved for a UK food manufacturer
We built the case, evidenced the need with HMRC and secured a duty suspension on a core imported ingredient — cutting landed cost without touching the supply chain.
Case studies
A sample of the customs and SPS work we do for food & drink businesses — the held consignments freed, the certificates got right, the processes that now just work. Names withheld; the detail is real.

Selected work
Across agrifood, manufacturing and trade — import and export, both directions.
We set up the IPAFFS process and got the CHED type and commodity detail right from day one. Consignments now clear first time, with no port-health holds on perishable stock.
We mapped declarations across sites, cleaned the data CDS is strict about, and moved everything across with no gap in clearance capability.
A manufacturer was paying duty it didn't owe. We evidenced preferential origin under the agreement and removed the charge going forward.
We selected the correct Export Health Certificates and lined up an authorised signatory so a POAO exporter kept shipping to the EU without turn-backs.
