Is” Your Forwarder Not Using Advance Rulings”
A client avoided $12,000 in duties last month using the E.U. Binding Tariff Information (BTI) system—their 3rd-party forwarder never mentioned this option.
Why 78% of inspections become costly (WTO 2023 data):
✖️ Late classification changes
✖️ Missing preferential origin proofs
✖️ Incorrect valuation methods
How we protect shipments
✅ Secure binding rulings in advance
✅ Maintain audit trails of all HS code decisions
✅ Train clients on keeping ruling documents
Case German customs reversed €23k penalties after we presented the client’s pre-existing BTI for solar inverters.
Ask your logistics partner: Can they show you their last 3 successful advance ruling cases?
