Having gone to enormous trouble to obtain a tariff classification and
export licence for the original item, product development and customer feedback will often lead to the development of a new, improved version.
However, what appear to be improvements or extensions to existing
functionality can in Customs terms change the classification and the export
licence class of the product. This can
mean a change to the tariff code and an invalidation of the export licence.
The result?
An inability to export any of the product until a new export licence is
obtained An increase in import duty and VAT
Delayed product launches
Unhappy customers
The solution? Teamwork!
