Customs Advisory Need

When should customs advice be obtained before shipment?

Customs positions are easier to manage when classification, value, origin and exemption conditions are reviewed before goods reach the border.

Importers With Material Duty Positions

Importers should consider advice where classification, valuation or exemption treatment materially affects landed cost.

  • New product / tariff classification
  • Related-party or special valuation issues
  • Concessional notification or exemption conditions

Businesses With Complex Cross-Border Supply Chains

Advice is useful where origin, documentation, licences or multiple jurisdictions affect customs treatment.

  • FTA / preferential origin questions
  • Restricted / regulated goods
  • Multi-party or related-party import structures
Important: Customs treatment should be checked using the current Customs Act, tariff, notifications, rules and facts of the goods and transaction.

Have an import or export where duty, classification or documentation is uncertain?

Import-Export Transaction Advisory

Customs risk is often determined before the goods are shipped.

The description, classification, transaction value, origin and exemption claimed on import documents can determine duty cost and future scrutiny.

Customs advisory therefore benefits from early review of product literature, commercial agreements, invoices and supply-chain structure rather than waiting until goods are held or assessed.

Where a position will recur, documenting the classification or valuation logic can help procurement, logistics and finance teams apply the treatment consistently.

Customs Advisory Documents

What information usually supports a customs review?

Product catalogue / technical specification
Composition / material details
Commercial invoice
Purchase order / agreement
Packing list
Bill of lading / airway bill where available
Country of origin information
Certificate of origin where relevant
Existing HS code / classification history
Exemption notification relied on if any
Related-party details where relevant
Import licence / policy documents where applicable
Landed Cost & Defensibility

A customs position should be commercially workable and documentable.

Classification and exemption decisions affect landed cost, pricing and procurement planning, so they should be reviewed before the shipment becomes time-sensitive.

Where imports are recurring, consistency matters. Different classifications or valuation approaches across shipments can create later questions or retrospective exposure.

For preferential origin claims, the commercial benefit should be balanced with the ability to demonstrate that the required origin criteria and supporting documentation are actually met.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common customs advisory questions.

How is an HS / tariff classification determined?
Classification is based on the nature, composition, function and description of the goods together with the customs tariff, section / chapter notes and applicable interpretive rules.
Can customs valuation differ from invoice value?
Yes. Customs valuation rules can require additions or other adjustments depending on the transaction and relationship between parties.
Can related-party imports require special review?
Yes. Related-party transactions can attract additional customs valuation scrutiny and may require supporting information on the relationship and pricing.
Can preferential duty under an FTA be reviewed?
Yes. Eligibility depends on the relevant trade agreement, origin criteria and supporting certificate / documentation.
Can exemption notification conditions be reviewed before import?
Yes. Reviewing the conditions before shipment can help determine whether the proposed import structure and documents support the exemption.
Can customs advice cover import restrictions or licensing?
Yes. Where relevant, customs review can be coordinated with DGFT or other regulatory requirements affecting the goods.
