What You’ll Learn
By the end of the session, you’ll be able to:
* Explain how an HMRC customs compliance check works and who is liable when an agent files your declarations
* Build an audit trail from the commercial documents through to the declaration and payment, and keep records for the right period
* Check import declarations for classification, valuation, duty and import VAT errors
* Evidence preference claims on imports and statements on origin on exports
* Hold the proof of export that supports VAT zero-rating, including the three-month rule
* Show that a special procedure authorisation is run within its conditions, and know what HMRC checks on transit
* Understand how an error becomes a customs debt and a penalty, and when to disclose it
* Run a simple self-audit, handle an HMRC visit and apply it all in a practical mock audit exercise
You’ll leave knowing what HMRC checks, which records and evidence to hold, and how to find and fix errors before they become a customs debt.
