Strategic Advisory Services
Duty savings and HS code accuracy are competitive advantages. Our advisory services pay for themselves many times over — we help you export smarter, not just faster.
Our Advisory Services
Two specialist services that go beyond paperwork — saving you money and protecting you from costly misclassification errors.
FTA Qualification & Strategy
Identify which Free Trade Agreements apply to your products and ensure you're claiming every eligible preferential tariff rate.
- Origin rules analysis for ChAFTA, CPTPP, ASFTA, UK FTA & more
- Preferential tariff rate calculation & duty savings projection
- Certificate of Origin strategy & supporting evidence framework
HS Code Classification
Accurate 10-digit tariff classification for your products, with written rulings and audit-ready documentation to back it up.
- NZ Customs & destination-country 10-digit HS code determination
- Written classification rationale for Customs audits & broker use
- Proactive alert when tariff schedules update affecting your products
Why Strategic Advisory?
Most exporters focus on getting the paperwork done. The smartest exporters focus on getting it right — and saving money in the process.
Beyond Documentation
Documentation services process your paperwork. Advisory services reduce what you pay. FTA qualification and HS code accuracy directly lower your landed cost — software and generic consultants can't match specialist expertise honed in NZ primary industries.
Duty Savings Quantified
ChAFTA alone eliminates tariffs on the vast majority of NZ food products exported to China. Correctly claiming preferential rates on a single container can save thousands. FTA strategy pays for itself many times over on the first shipment it's applied to.
Classification Accuracy
Wrong HS codes mean unexpected duty bills, shipment holds, and penalty exposure when Customs audits. A misclassified product can cost orders of magnitude more in back-duties and fines than the cost of getting expert classification upfront.
