Returns are not just Logicstics

Returns are not simply a logistics problem—they are a new customs transaction. In this episode, Richard Bartlett explores what businesses must consider when goods are returned, rejected, repaired, replaced or sent back under warranty. We outline the questions every business should ask: • Why are the goods returning? • Is the movement temporary or permanent? • Could Returned Goods Relief apply? • What customs procedure and valuation should be used? • Can the returned goods be linked to the original shipment? • What evidence will the customs agent require? A poorly managed return can lead to duplicate duty and import VAT, incorrect declarations, unnecessary delays and the loss of valuable customs reliefs.
