From uncertainty to practical action

A focused review to assess whether the business is correctly using, or could benefit from using, customs special procedures or reliefs.

The objective is to identify whether the client has duty/VAT leakage, incorrect procedure use, missed relief opportunities, weak discharge evidence, or flows that should be moved into a formal special procedure workstream.

A Special Procedures Mini Review is likely to fit when:

Businesses handling repairs, returns or processing 
Teams using temporary import or export movements
Importers concerned about duty leakage or discharge evidence
