Import/Export Compliance

Our Import and Export Compliance service provides remote support to ensure all international movements are accurately recorded, fully checked, and reconciled. Delivered as ongoing support or a backlog project, it includes regular reporting with findings, trends, and recommendations giving you confidence and clarity over your compliance.

Our Import and Export Co-ordinator service keeps goods moving smoothly by reducing the risk of errors and delays. Using a pre-approved customs decision tree, we handle clearance instructions, export documentation, and customs queries available as ongoing support or on a project basis for holiday cover and busy periods.

Clarksons Port Services turned to Bethan Customs Consultancy for support with our AEO renewal application to HMRC. The Bethan team were fantastic during our engagement discussions, listening to our requirements and developing the scope of work.

Innes Cameron, Director, Clarksons Port Services

We were successful in receiving our renewed AEO authorisation, and the support we received from Bethan exceeded our expectations, making this a streamlined process for us. We were so pleased with the service we received from Nicola and the team that we have built up a long-term relationship between the two companies and have a call-off agreement for when we need further customs assistance. We now regard them as one of our high-profile suppliers, which is down to their superb communication, co-ordination of tasks and professional manner – thanks Bethan!

Innes Cameron, Director, Clarksons Port Services

We have developed a close working relationship with the Bethan team over a number of years now. Following a request from HMRC to carry out a Customs System Audit, we initially requested that Bethan assist us through what could be a daunting process. The extensive experience that Bethan have of both customs procedures and dealing with HMRC meant that the technical questions could be addressed fully and accurately. Having them act as an intermediary also ensured that the audit ran smoothly. As a result, we had a very constructive dialogue with HMRC, with several positive actions being implemented that have made our customs systems more robust.

Stuart Donaldson, Managing Director, Strachans

The Bethan team also supported us through the application process for Authorised Economic Operator status for customs simplification (AEOC). Thanks in no small part to the team’s ability to marry our business objectives with the compliance and documentation requirements of HMRC, the process was extremely efficient, and we were successful in achieving AEOC status.
