BIFA’s attention has been drawn to an issue concerning import duties and quotas for imports of Iron and Steel.
The imposition of such duties etc seem to be complex and Members have expressed concerns regarding both the timing and how these taxes are imposed – from what we have been advised after clearance.
BIFA is aware that HMRC, as previously stated, are trying to collect duties on goods which at the time of importation appeared to have quota remaining or duty free entry into the UK.
In order to understand more about this issue, we would like any members with first-hand knowledge of the situation to contact Robert Windsor. All information will be treated as confidential.
