Every importer wants lower costs—but cutting corners leads to penalties. The legal way to reduce duty is to plan documentation, HS classification, and valuation correctly from day one.
1. Start with correct HS classification
Misclassification can increase duty or trigger disputes. Use product specs to verify the right HS code and unit measurements.
2. Maintain clean valuation evidence
Keep supplier contracts, payment proof, and consistent invoices. Strong evidence reduces valuation adjustments.
3. Avoid storage and demurrage costs
Even if duty is fixed, delays create large expenses. Preparation is the biggest cost-saver.
4. Plan your import structure
Depending on your business model, timing and shipment consolidation can reduce overhead and clearance repetition.
5. Work with a broker early
Pre-arrival audits and compliance checks prevent expensive corrections after arrival.
