I have yet not received any thoughts from others, other than Mark Rowbotham who kindly gave me direction prior to publishing on CKI as suggested by others.Perhaps the case study I requested views on was poorly explained. I have re-issued this case study, removing the options as I see it, hopefully to suitably declutter the question.

I think raising in-market current case studies among members, gaining thoughts from all, be they correct or not, would be a great way for CKI leaders and members to gain greater understanding of how customs issues are impacting business right now. As is the case when you get trade associations and specialists together, dare I say there is much discussion about big political subjects and ‘blue-sky’ thinking, but not enough solving of the issues of the day that will help members help businesses right now. I hope CKI does not go such a path.

Scenario:

A Swedish company imports finished products from China straight into free circulation. The Swedish company sells the products direct to consumers across the EU as well as in the UK, with the UK sales terms including DDP. The Swedish company wishes to reduce their customs duty and VAT exposure when selling into the UK through whatever means is necessary. What are all of their options?

Thank you.
