RMG is the sector this desk was built around. Bonded warehouse imports under Utilisation Declaration, back-to-back LC documentation, GSP certificates of origin and export consignments that must be on a named vessel — these are weekly work, not exceptions.
The binding constraint in RMG is almost never customs. It is the shipment window. We plan backwards from it.
Bonded imports must be matched against UD entitlement before filing.
Import and export document sets have to reconcile for the bank to negotiate.
Required for preferential access; obtained before the export files.
Export filing is scheduled from the cut-off, not the invoice date.
Four questions about your consignment and you get an indicative breakdown of our charges and the duty to expect — before you speak to anyone.
