Processing under Customs Control (PCC) is a duty-relief arrangement which applies when imported components attract a higher duty rate than your processed goods. The imported materials are placed under duty suspension and released using the same commodity code as the finished product, thereby producing absolute customs duty savings.
Customs planning involves:
Applying for and obtaining the right type of authorisation
Setting up robust systems that meet any conditions of the relief
Ensuring that any partners meet their necessary obligations
Putting in place controls to show you all your obligations are met and the level of any benefits
Proper disclosure and project management should speed up the implementation process and keep set up costs down.
