We live in an increasingly interconnected and demanding world where supply chains cross borders every day. In this context, companies that import or export products need to avoid any kind of incident in their forwarding operations. The complexity of international trade does not only depend on transport or packaging, but also on customs procedures. Poor management in this area can cause delays, unforeseen costs, or even the immobilisation of goods.

Having continuous customs consultancy has become an essential strategic tool. This kind of consultancy is not limited to solving specific problems but offers constant support in all processes related to customs management. Thanks to it, companies can anticipate potential obstacles, comply with current regulations in each country, and make informed and efficient logistics decisions. In other words, it allows international activity to flow without interruptions, surprises, or unnecessary friction. What are the characteristics of this type of customs consultancy?

• Constant updates on international regulations: One of the greatest risks for a company operating internationally is not being up to date with regulatory changes. Customs laws are frequently modified, especially in contexts of commercial tension or sectoral regulatory changes. Continuous consultancy allows companies to know, for example, when sanitary requirements are updated for exporting food to Latin America or when technical restrictions are imposed in European Union countries. This way, the company can react quickly and adjust its documentation and labelling in advance, avoiding penalties or border rejections.
• Tariff optimisation based on detailed analysis: Not all goods are taxed in the same way, and in many cases, customs costs can be reduced or eliminated if certain origin or classification criteria are met. Continuous consultancy makes it possible to review each tariff code and apply the most favourable conditions depending on the destination. Thus, a company that exports electronic components can benefit from a preferential agreement and obtain a significant tariff reduction, which directly impacts the final price competitiveness.
• Preparation of customs reports adapted to each operation: Each international shipment is different, and continuous customs consultancy makes it possible to prepare technical and strategic reports according to the type of goods, the destination country, or the logistics conditions. A company that needs to send chemical products to Africa can receive, before shipment, a report with the specific documentary requirements of the importing country, entry restrictions, and necessary licences.
• Structural reduction of logistics costs: Thanks to a comprehensive view of the logistics and customs process, decisions can be made that reduce structural costs. Correctly choosing the applicable Incoterm, avoiding penalties due to documentation errors, or adequately planning transit times are actions that, taken together, generate significant savings.
• Detailed monitoring of customs processes: The value of this type of consultancy is not limited to the pre-shipment phase but extends throughout the entire logistics process. Having real-time information on the customs status of a container or a batch of goods allows quick decisions if any setback arises.
• Strategic advice to open new markets: Expanding into new countries involves assuming new logistics and customs risks. Customs consultancy proactively analyses target markets and guides the company on the feasibility of routes, estimated costs, and regulatory requirements.
