Interpreting the flows to calculate potential duty savings or deferments.

The project scope includes:

Advising on and reviewing the relevant GTS data.

Supporting me via screen-sharing sessions (e.g. Teams/Zoom) to ensure the correct reports are pulled.

Analysing the data to assess whether a customs warehouse would provide measurable savings or operational benefits.

Providing a written feasibility report and recommendations.

Requirements:

Demonstrated expertise in international trade, customs regimes, and duty management.

Familiarity with SAP GTS (or equivalent trade management systems).

Strong data analysis skills (Excel, pivot tables, financial modelling).

Ability to work discreetly and collaboratively, with clear explanations.

Deliverables:

Guidance on relevant GTS data extracts.
