Mitigate regulatory risks and optimize duty payments under the GCC Common Customs Law. G12 validates your import/export declarations, HS Code classifications, and valuation methodologies to prevent penalties during Post-Clearance Audits.
International trade in the UAE is governed by strict regulatory frameworks. While goods may clear the border quickly, the UAE Federal Customs Authority and local customs departments conduct rigorous Post-Clearance Audits (PCA) years after the transaction. These audits verify the accuracy of declarations, customs valuation, and origin certificates.
G12 acts as your defense line against regulatory non-compliance. We review your supply chain documentation to ensure alignment with the GCC Common Customs Law. Errors in HS Code classification or incorrect application of Incoterms can lead to severe financial penalties, retroactive duty demands, and suspension of import codes. Our technical advisors analyze your historical data to rectify discrepancies before the authorities intervene.
We structure our customs advisory into four specialized disciplines to address specific supply chain risks and financial opportunities.
G12 conducts detailed mock audits mimicking the methodology of federal inspectors. We scrutinize your past declarations, invoices, and shipping documents to identify risks such as undervaluation or misclassification of goods. This proactive diagnosis allows businesses to voluntarily disclose errors and correct processes, significantly reducing the risk of fines during an official FCA Audit.
Importers often overpay duties due to administrative errors or unfinalized deposit claims. G12 assists businesses in recovering these funds. We manage the complex documentation required to claim refunds on re-exported goods, cash deposits for temporary admission, or duplicate duty payments. Our team liaises directly with customs officials to expedite the release of your capital.
Penalty Prevention: Incorrect HS Codes can trigger fines ranging from 100% to 200% of the duty value.
Valuation Accuracy: Ensuring Related Party Transactions and assists (like royalties or tooling costs) are correctly included in the Customs Value prevents accusations of undervaluation.
Supply Chain Speed: Companies with a clean compliance record face fewer physical inspections and hold-ups at the border.
Audit Defense: A documented audit trail provides the necessary evidence to defend your tax position during regulatory inquiries.
