Audit

Or: Inspection. The various requirements and regulations in foreign trade are relevant for you in many of your business areas. Some cases are clearly recognizable, such as shipping to a third country or purchasing goods from a third country. The challenge is to map all processes across the company and to do this, they must be recognized in the first step. We check your company from A to Z and identify all open flanks.

Consultation

Whether as a result of one of our audits or as "self-awareness": sometimes advice is needed to implement action. We are at your disposal for all questions relating to foreign trade, whether in person, by phone, or via video conference.

Customs processes, rules of origin, export control, preferential agreements or any other area of foreign trade. In Germany, Europe or worldwide.

Processes

Many tasks in foreign trade are also recurring - which is why good process management is a great asset here. However, this is an area where many companies still lag behind. There is a lack of efficiency and a susceptibility to errors. With our team, we start in the right place and help you to achieve reliable, lean and optimized processes.

Some of which you can also outsource to us - see below under "Services"

Compliance

Legal certainty protects against future problems, obstacles and challenges. Internal compliance software are required by many authorities and must be described and put into practice. We are happy to help you - be it with the training of the responsible employees or with our "blueprints" for operational implementation - which are then jointly adapted to the conditions in your company. Here, too, we provide security with our "operational services" - be it for military equipment/military technology or dual-use.

Services

Our support ranges from checking supplier declarations and applying for binding tariff information in all member states of the customs union to obtaining a customs suspension. In other words, from "quantity to quality" - whereby the one does not exclude the other.

Software

In cooperation with our sister company CU-TA. Since the beginning, one of the principles of our internal organization has been the processing, evaluation and provision of data and thus of know-how. Today's software and database possibilities have made it possible for us to form this know-how into research, user and audit software and make it available to our clients.

Several in-house software applications serve as an interface between you and us for our supporting processes and services. For example: A customs code number assigned by us is of course continuously monitored for changes - be it due to an adjustment to the nomenclature or due to a classification regulation. And: Our MA-TAX A.I. helps you with future classifications of similar articles.

Export Control

Export control as a strategic task and in day-to-day business must go hand in hand. We are there for you in both areas. Always in the right "scale" - because the relevance exists for large international corporations as well as for small manufacturing companies or traders with international shipments. Strategically, awareness of the regulations must be created - at the operational level, we carry out checks for dual use, embargo, weapons and military technology, sanctions, etc. As an expert opinion for specific goods or in "the mass" of the new system / the goods master. We focus on military equipment, the EU Dual-Use Regulation as well as national regulations and US (re-)export controls with the "famous" ECCN.

Classification

When classifying goods in the nomenclature (goods tariff number / customs code number), a company needs two things: time and know-how. Determining the correct customs code number for a product is therefore both a challenging task and a workload that should not be underestimated, especially if items have to be classified regularly in large quantities. We take this effort off your hands and assign the right customs code numbers for you. We also support you with dual-use inspections.
