Advisory
Customs & Tax
Duty and tax exposures tend to surface late - at the port, or in the middle of a KRA audit. We work on both: getting goods classified and valued correctly before they ship, and preparing and defending tax positions when they are questioned.
Our method
Engagement Method
- 01
Exposure Review
Import and export declarations and filed tax positions are reviewed together, with each exposure quantified as duty or tax, penalty and interest.
- 02
Classification & Valuation
Tariff codes, customs value and origin are confirmed per product line, and documented so the position holds at post-clearance audit.
- 03
Planning & Relief
Available duty reliefs, exemptions and tax positions are identified and applied for, with the supporting documentation prepared.
- 04
Audit & Dispute Support
We support KRA customs and tax audits, and prepare objections and appeals on a documented, evidenced position.
What is handed over
- 01A customs exposure report per product line, with duty at risk quantified
- 02Documented tariff classification and valuation positions
- 03Prepared applications for duty relief or exemption, where available
- 04Written responses to KRA audit queries, objections and appeals
