Valuation Decides What the Goods Actually Cost
Declared value sets duty, VAT and the audit trail behind both. When it is questioned, the question reaches back across years of consignments.
The Business Challenge
Valuation is rarely disputed one shipment at a time. A challenge to transaction value, to a related-party price, or to an addition such as a royalty or an assist tends to arrive as a pattern across a period — by which point the exposure has already accrued.
How We Help
We review how value is built and evidenced — contracts, invoices, transfer pricing, freight and additions — and set out the position the business can defend, with the documentation that supports it.
