Importer - a decision that has a real impact on costs and risks

Importer status is not a formality.
It is a decision that affects:

• who pays customs duty and import VAT,
• Who is responsible for the customs declaration,
• who bears the risk of documentary errors.

In practice, it is a question of who is listed as the importer on the customs declaration and takes responsibility for the clearance and accuracy of the data.

In practice, costs and delays most often come from :

• incorrect invoices or packing lists,
• misclassification of goods,
• unclear „who imports” model,
• inconsistency between import, UK warehouse and fulfilment.

Therefore, a model in which the customs process, VAT and logistics are designed together rather than separately works best.
