Compliant Trade Consultancy

International trade can be complex and heavily regulated and employing a tariff consultant internally can be an expensive solution for Freight Forwarders to ensure their customers duty is minimised and to provide assurance on compliance with customs regulations on their customs entries. Depending on the demand you have for this function, it can make more sense to outsource it and increase the quality whilst decreasing your costs. Compliant Trade Consultancy (CTC) offers expert technical and specialised advice from our experienced trade consultants, either on demand or on retainer, so that you do not have to carry the sunk cost of employing internally. All our staff have held senior positions in both top tier accounting firms and within the freight and logistics industry. As such we have the capability to offer a first class service at a competitive wholesale rate, enabling you and your customers to achieve the best outcomes at a fraction of the market rate. Some of the ways we can assist include: • Tariff Concession Order Applications • Preparation and submission of formal rulings with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) which may include valuation, tariff or origin rulings; • Client visits and presentations; • Assistance in DIBP audits; and • Retrospective duty reviews including compliance audits. Our business model integrates directly into your business processes, we like to see ourselves as an extension of your business and appreciate that true value is obtained when an intimate knowledge of products and pain points are fully understood. Our personalised and thorough service is what sets us apart in the market. We work with you to tailor a consultancy plan that’s the right fit for your business… you gain the benefit of a highly qualified consultant available when you need it the most without the ongoing costs of a permanent internal FTE.
