Value addition is a key
differentiator in the highly
competitive logistics space
– and Röhlig-Grindrod’s
value proposition includes
consulting and advisory
services as part of its overall
service offering. This covers
a number of different
areas within the customs
environment ranging
from supply chain audits,
tariffing, applications
and appeals to refunds,
drawbacks as well as
training.
“Some of the major
challenges that our clients
have faced recently, and
where our consultancy
team has been able to
assist, include appeals
against Customs
schedules (findings), tariff
classifications and proactive
training around the Customs
Duty Act 30 and Control Act
31 of July 2014,” says Röhlig-
Grindrod national customs
manager, David Liebenberg.
“The consulting and
advisory services are
handled by a team of senior
professionals who over the
years have gained a wealth
of knowledge and are able
to provide advice and
assistance in all
aspects of
Customs.
We ensure
that our
consultants
are
versatile
and have
experience
across
various
sectors and
industries,” said Liebenberg.
He sees the need for
consulting services
expanding over the coming
years due to significant
changes in local and
international legislation
and regulations. “Clients
are going to need a
business partner who has
the necessary skill and
knowledge to navigate the
complex world of logistics.
Thus more investment
will be made in this area
with the objective of
growing
our
offering
in this
regard.”
Röhlig-
Grindrod
is
accredited
with the
South
African
Revenue Service.
“In order to maintain that
status we ensure compliance
is entrenched in our
organisational culture. This
is not only an inward focus
but extends to all of our
clients through the services
we offer.”
