HMRC can conduct an audit at any point to check whether your business is complying with UK customs rules and procedures. Being prepared is essential – particularly as importers must be able to demonstrate compliance with UK customs regulations, including the correct payments of duties and taxes.
Non-compliance can lead to demands for duty repayments, withdrawal of customs authorisations, financial penalties and wider reputational consequences. This can create mistrust with customers, suppliers and logistics partners, and may also impact future relationships with HMRC.
This free Global Trade Live webinar, hosted by the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade, featured customs experts and importers sharing practical advice on how to prepare for an audit with confidence.
