You’ve just got one shipment of goods coming in to the United States or Canada, but it’s an important one. You need help to get it where it needs to be; on-time and hassle-free.
Handling two or three shipments a month sounds simple, but it can seem like every shipment needs a different form or must comply with a different regulation. Whether you are a big or small business, you experience these challenges.
You have regular, consistent import and/or export shipments. You’ve engaged brokerage and freight providers to help, but managing multiple shipments and multiple partners can be a drain on your time and resources.
Your business has a global footprint, and managing your supply chain takes significant time and resources. You need help to maintain consistent, repeatable and compliant trade processes from end-to-end.
As a carrier or driver, customer service is your top priority. We’ll help you navigate the border quickly and deliver on your commitments. We can even help you offer additional services to your clients.
Are you paying the correct duty rates and taxes? Livingston will help you identify duty, tax and fee recovery opportunities from classification, free trade agreements, valuation rulings, remissions and the Canadian Goods and Services Tax. At a minimal cost, you can reap significant rewards.
Taking the time to review trade transactions to claim a duty and tax refund often doesn’t seem worth it. We do it for you. Our team of consultants, accountants, auditors, and lawyers have recovered millions in over-payment in duties, taxes and fees.
Put cash back in your bottom line. Only a small percentage of duty is recovered by most businesses. Companies simply don’t know they are eligible to file a drawback claim. Our specialists look for every opportunity, including duty on finished goods and assembled merchandise.
Are you overpaying duties? Many companies overpay for years without realizing it. We analyze your entries to identify refund opportunities from classification, origin, valuation rulings, and remissions. Get a true understanding, for today and in the future.
Is the law on your side? Managing your company’s commodity taxes requires an interpretation of tax laws. Our experts work cost-efficiently on a contingency basis to recover overpaid commodity taxes — money that goes straight to your bottom line.
What’s your GST/HST risk? Non-resident importers (NRIs) into Canada often find Canada’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) to be a challenge. Many do not collect and remit properly. We make it much easier.
