Problem:

A company had various regimes and post-UCC (import, export and storage procedures following the introduction of the Union Customs Code), if one regime expires, a new assessment would be made on all other authorisations.

Solution:

VernonRato Limited undertook the responsibility for reapplying for these authorisations and under UCC regulations had to apply for a CCG.

As the company was not authorised for AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) status and, with the history the CCG should have been 100%, which would mean a payment of £21 million. Demonstrations of compliance with correct processes and procedures enabled us to get a 0% for the business.

Results:

When the company applied for Customs Warehouse, a Guarantee needed to be in place for 100% of their imports from a 3rd country. This again was a 0% guarantee from a potential £72 million.

 

Customs Warehouse Accreditation in 5 months

Problem:

As part of Brexit mitigation as well as compliance, our client needed to apply for Private Customs Warehouse status on behalf of a manufacturer who had various off-site storage locations.

Solution:

Vernon Rato collected all of the information from various applications which, as the company was not accredited with AEO, happened to be four different applications, as well as reapplying for CCG (Customs Comprehensive Guarantee).  IT interfacing with the CMS (Customs Management System), inventory management, SAP (Systems, Applications and Products) and freight forwarder interfaces all fell within the scope of the project.

Results:

The project was successfully completed in 3 months as well as the audit taking place during month 4. The company received their Customs Warehouse during month 5 of the project.
