REACH - Offset cost against duty savings!

As the information to register product for REACH is similar to that needed to classify the product for import, many of our EU clients have asked us to complete a ‘free of charge’ classification review (avoids needless administrative duplication). More often than not the retrospective duty reclaims and future savings have paid for the additional costs incurred through the REACH registration process. Our fees are only triggered if we identify savings or undertake a successful reclaim. Many companies are not aware that duty reclaims can be back dated for up to three years.

Exciting Start to 2010

I guess it is going to be a rollercoaster of a year! My alarm clock was beaten on Monday (first day back at work) by an explosion which almost shook me out of my pit!

At first I thought my car was on fire.....

This is a picture taken from the house.

After rushing out of the house, opening the gates and nearly killing myself in the ice and snow, I found a car parked behind mine.....well alight.

My wife called the fire brigade....anything for men in uniform!!!

Some poor sod was driving to work when his Peugeot caught on fire. No comments on buying French cars......

On the bright side, I didn't have to clear the road of snow.

Snow at The Quays

After leaving home (Hale, Cheshire) I finally arrived in The Quays 2 hours 50 minutes later. The photos of Media City show the snowy scene earlier today.
