International customs cooperation

BDO is represented in more than 165 countries worldwide. Our international customs colleagues are ready to assist you and our customs specialists in international contexts.

International trade wars raging between the world's major economies, a world trade organisation that may not work properly, and the UK on its way out of the EU. All these factors risk leading to companies without access to local assistance combined with an overall international network at risk of being losers in a game that no one can really control.
 

Stricter regulatory requirements

Companies importing and exporting goods must be aware of applicable laws that impose requirements on their own competences as well as good internal procedures and processes. 

The risk of customs audits is increasing, while customs processes are becoming more and more digitalised, and the focus is on companies' procedures for self-monitoring. If any goes wrong, there is a risk of customs duties, sanctions and revoked authorisations. All of which may lead to the non-delivery of goods and thereby reduced cash flow, liquidity and profits.
