Import and export advisory services
Doing business internationally is complicated enough during normal times, and recent world events continue to raise the stakes through added risks and opportunities in global sourcing, manufacturing and distribution. Navigating the array of regimes, rules and regulations – including WTO, CBP, EAR, ITAR, Wassenaar Arrangement – across jurisdictions requires knowledge and experience to achieve the best outcome. RSM’s Trade Advisory Services brings the power to effectively address your customs, export controls and cross-border trading challenges in this dynamic and fast-changing geopolitical landscape.
Customs duty mitigation and recovery
Various programs such as duty drawback, free and foreign trade zones, and bonded operations offer opportunities for importers to reduce, defer and in some cases eliminate the payment of customs duties. RSM has the tools and expertise to help your company identify and maximize opportunities for landed cost savings, improved margins and market competitiveness.
Merchandise valuation
Properly appraising merchandise is one of the most complex areas in international trade. The sale structure, relationship between parties and even intangible costs such as royalties, assists and distribution rights can influence the transaction value of imported goods. RSM can leverage the opportunities by analyzing your transfer prices and the circumstances of the sale to arrive at defensible and beneficial customs values.
Origin and free trade
There are over 400 global trade agreements and sector-specific accords, creating an intricate web of tariff benefits for some and barriers for many. Some examples include USMCA, EU, ASEAN, ALADI and TRIPS. Determining eligibility, analyzing rules and documenting claims is a challenging and technical process. RSM’s experts can help enhance your global sourcing and procurement activities to compliantly lower landed costs and boost your bottom line.
