Objecting to Customs Classification Decisions
We review customs classification decisions for imported goods, and when we discover an error in this classification leading to duties calculated higher than actually due, we help you file a statutory objection backed by necessary technical documents.
Precisely Calculating Customs Duties
We help importers confirm customs duties are precisely calculated per the goods' correct classification, and determine any exemptions or reductions that might apply to their activity or the type of imported goods.
Procedures for Releasing Held Shipments
When a shipment is held at Dammam or Jubail port, we immediately review the hold's reason and initiate statutory release procedures as quickly as possible, minimizing the delay's impact on the business's operations.
Origin Disputes and Preferential Trade Agreements
We help importers claim customs exemptions or reductions due under preferential trade agreements, including proving the goods' origin with correctly required documents.
Compliance With Export Requirements
We help exporting companies understand statutory export requirements, including any restrictions or special licenses that might be imposed on certain goods or specific export destinations.
Customs Penalties and Reduction Requests
We help businesses assess the possibility of challenging imposed customs penalties, especially in cases of simple or unintentional procedural violations that might deserve mitigation.
Customs Clearance Agent Contracts
We review contracting agreements with customs clearance agents, clarifying each party's liability for any procedural or classification errors leading to subsequent violations or penalties.
Temporary Import and Customs Free Zones
We help industrial businesses understand temporary import regulations for equipment used in specific projects, and options for benefiting from customs free zones if available for their activity.
Customs Compliance for Heavy Industrial Imports
We help major industrial businesses understand customs compliance requirements specific to importing heavy equipment and specialized spare parts, including any customs exemptions that might apply to their sector.
Declared Customs Value Disputes
When customs disputes the declared value of imported goods and assesses a higher value, we help importers submit original purchase documents and invoices to prove the true value and object to any excess duty calculation.
