Tariff-Buster Analysis™️

Threats of new Tariffs are in the headlines almost on a daily basis.

Do you know the potential impact of these “Trump Tariffs” on your current imports and global sourcing?

Do you know how much you are overpaying (or underpaying) in Customs duties worldwide?

Have you done any customs duty planning to explore how you can minimize Customs duty costs?

Very few companies actually verify the customs duties they have been charged worldwide. Especially in difficult economic times and trade wars, you need to examine ways you can legally minimize your customs duty impact and look for any possible saving opportunities. Many companies pay hundreds of thousands in extra customs duties when there is no visibility, controls or analysis of these amounts paid to the Government.

 Case Study

Background

A Fortune 500 company with several manufacturing lines of business, did not have an effective international trade compliance program as their trade compliance function was decentralized and different business groups handled their trade compliance activities differently.

Challenge

DSG Global was engaged to review and effectively reduce the client’s customs duty spend.

Our Solution

We obtained the ACE information of all the customs duties paid by different business groups over a three year period.  Using this data, we were able to analyze opportunities for duty minimization, such as customs valuation, ATA carnets, suggest accurate classifications, as well as a Foreign trade zone. We also conducted an import-export evaluation by reviewing key areas of compliance violations.

Result

We presented our findings to the CFO indicating the areas for customs dollar savings and created a foreign trade zone for customs duty deferral.

 Client Testimonials

I highly recommend Deep at DSG Global for any company that is shipping products around the world. After we received some staggering customs duties on some exports, Deep helped us understand and adopt customs valuation methods, and local country requirements so we were able to better plan for customs requirements around the world and reduce our customs duty exposure. If I ever needed anything, at any time, Deep was there to help.

I first met Deep when he and his colleague performed a full review of international customs and duties processes at our company (eyewear distribution) . His knowledge and expertise are fabulous. But what most impressed me was his ability to develop real solutions to each of our problems, and his ability to then communicate those solutions in a way that was effective to everyone in our company regardless of level, from the CEO to the lowest clerk.
