Special Procedures are schemes available to importers and exporters to waiver, suspend or drawback customs duties. When operating under a Special Procedure goods are still within the control of HMRC even though they have been released from the place of arrival.

Under any authorisation process HMRC checks that the company has relevant written procedures and skilled staff and determines how to use and maintain records for each procedure so it is important to understand your obligations.

Understanding these procedures can help in identifying which scheme can be used in a given situation, minimise import duty payments and subsequently benefit cash flow within your business.

What is Authorised Economic Operator?

AEO is an EU wide program designed for “trusted traders” who are able to demonstrate consistent quality, compliance and trustworthiness in their supply chain to Customs authorities.  AEO status does not eliminate potential tariffs on importation of goods but it can significantly help mitigate non-tariff costs associated with international trade in particular simplifying the importation and exportation process and bringing faster and more efficient clearance of goods at Customs frontiers.

Businesses can use Inward Processing to get relief from Customs Duty and import VAT on goods that are imported from outside the EU to be processed, and then exported outside the EU, or released for free circulation in the EU.

Outward Processing allows EU traders to temporarily export goods from the EU for processing or repair in a third (non-EU) country and then claim full or partial duty relief when the goods are re-imported.

This seminar will provide an overview of these reliefs, and share valuable tips and advice on how these reliefs could work for your business.
