Can you help with import duty and tax paperwork?

Import taxes and levies could be perplexing given the recent changes brought on by Brexit. We can help you in this circumstance, and if you have a deferment account, we’ll take care of everything on your behalf. If you don’t have a deferment account, you shouldn’t worry. If so, the carrier will get in touch with CSM, and we’ll let you know how much you owe. We know how crucial it is for you to have complete assurance that import duties and taxes are paid, therefore if you have any questions or issues, you can always contact us by phone or email.
