Can you help with import duty and tax paperwork
With the recent changes implemented since Brexit, import duties and taxes can seem complex. This is where we come in and if you have a deferment account, we’ll sort it all for you. There is no need to worry if you haven’t got a deferment account. If this is the case then the carrier will contact CSM and we’ll tell you how much is due. We know how important it is for you to have complete peace of mind that import duties and taxes are taken care of, which is why our team are always just a call or email away should you have any questions or queries.
Can you import large consignments?
