Without the right advice, a company who is interested in international trading might end up violating UK’s trade rules and paying penalties. Rules such as requirement of trade licences for certain products or industries, understanding the threshold limit for filing self declarations, ensuring correct documentation for a shipment (especially when the shipment is from/ going to outside the EU) are important in ensuring that the shipments are handled smoothly at the time of customs clearance.
