Customs consulting & classification
Get the code, the duty and the terms right before you ship.
Most clearance problems and overpaid duty start before the cargo moves — with the wrong commodity code or the wrong delivery terms. Our customs consulting fixes that up front: correct UKT ZED classification, duty optimization, Incoterms advice and a clear view of the permits your goods will need.
What's included
Pre-import classification
We determine the UKT ZED (HS) code and confirm the duty and VAT rate before you order.
Landed-cost modelling
A full picture of duty, VAT and fees so you know the true cost of goods on arrival.
Incoterms 2020 advice
We help you pick delivery terms (EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, DAP…) that lower risk and cost.
Permit & certification mapping
We identify required certificates and permits, and can route certification through sister brand AegisUA.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the UKT ZED code matter so much?
The code sets the duty rate, the VAT and which permits apply. A wrong code means overpaid duty or a stopped shipment — getting it right before you order avoids both.
Can you lower my duty legally?
Often, yes — through correct classification, the right Incoterms and use of available preferences. We only ever use lawful, defensible methods.
Do you advise on Incoterms?
Yes. The delivery term decides who pays for carriage, insurance and clearance and where risk passes; we recommend the term that fits your deal. See our Incoterms 2020 guide.
