Navigating the complexities of international trade requires expertise, strategy, and strong partnerships. At STC, we offer a comprehensive range of services to help businesses optimise their import and export operations. Whether you're expanding into new markets or optimising your supply chain, our experienced consultants provide the guidance and solutions you need to succeed.
Successfully importing goods into new markets can be challenging, especially with ever-changing regulations, customs procedures, and logistics hurdles. STC helps businesses streamline their import operations by offering:
Ensuring smooth clearance of your goods through customs by managing documentation, tariffs, duties, and ensuring compliance with local regulations. Our experts are well-versed in customs procedures in the UK, EU, USA, and Canada.
Accurate product classification (HS codes) is key to minimising duties. We work with you to optimise tariffs, identify duty-free opportunities, and ensure compliance with import restrictions.
Our global network helps you identify reliable suppliers for the goods you need. We also conduct comprehensive due diligence to ensure your supply chain remains secure and ethical.
Some products require special import licenses. STC assists with obtaining all necessary permits, ensuring compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations.
We facilitate secure transactions through trade finance instruments like letters of credit (LCs), ensuring you manage financial risks effectively when dealing with international suppliers.
Expanding your business by exporting products internationally is a great growth strategy, but it comes with its own set of challenges. STC’s export services are designed to help businesses succeed in global markets by providing:
Our team provides in-depth research on foreign markets, helping you understand demand, competition, regulations, and cultural preferences. We develop customised strategies for entering new markets with maximum impact.
Exporting requires a range of documents, from certificates of origin to bills of lading. We manage all necessary paperwork, ensuring that your goods meet regulatory standards and avoid delays at borders.
