Melbourne, Victoria – Curlett, Cannon and Galbell Pty Ltd (CCG) Pty Ltd customs duty and tariff advisers are very proud to announce its 40th Year of service to a very broad spectrum of Australian companies and brands importers/exports.
CCG continue their Import Duty Refund Audit service for qualifying businesses. This evolution of their in-house import file audit service aims at giving high quality tariff and import duty advice. The audit service can provide ongoing savings, as well as recovering overpaid duties and identifying underpaid duties. This service will be of tremendous value to small, medium and large importing companies.
"This development shows our commitment to Australian importers, distributors, manufacturers, and exporters. We believe this service will decrease a company’s annual import costs considerably," said Tony Bell, CEO of Curlett Cannon & Galbell.
Tony believes that the recent state of the economy has prompted many organizations to seek ways to reduce corporate spending wherever possible. Spending on import duty is an area that offers substantial savings opportunities, but it continues to remain one that is often overlooked by corporate executives and management. “If the products you are importing are incorrectly assessed and classified or if tariff concessions have been missed, you are either over paying duty or risk a customs fine for underpayment,” continued Tony.
“Based on our 40 years of experience in the custom tariff auditing field, we estimate that over 80% of Australian importers pay more than necessary", says Tony. “In this environment of comparatively low import duties, the majority of businesses focus on minimisation of freight costs, and overlook the duty charges, which can be a considerable amount when you consider that our government currently receives about $7.8 billion per annum from import duties.”
"We are passionate about our dedication to providing a personalized and professional service - and stand behind our word with a proven track record. Our goal is to accommodate all customers in paying the lowest legally available duties in compliance within the Australian Customs laws and regulations. We understand that we are not just recovering considerable sums for reinvestment in your business, we are reducing your ongoing duty liabilities well into the future", Mr Bell added.
‘’The audit service is a no refunds identified, no-charge basis. You get the peace of mind that you are paying the lowest legal amount of duty. Naturally there may be some resistance from some in your organization who feel their work is being judged, but the improvements to the balance sheet can be significant,” Tony concluded.
