Import Assist offers outsourced option for smaller importers

ALAN PEAT
IMPORTERS WHO aren’t big players face a major problem in justifying the recruitment of in-house import controllers.
But an answer to that has been devised by import and costing specialist, Raymond Bilson, who has set up Import Assist - a company designed to fill the outsourcing role, with a highly-detailed import system to take care of clients’ import requirements.
The system - which can be fully-customised for client needs - can handle the full range of financial and operational information required in the import management field.
“This is a complete electronic filing and import control system,” said Bilson. “Importers no longer have to go without this essential element of importing as we will add the necessary value to a client’s business.
“A company can control its expenses without losing out on the necessary expertise of an import controller by allowing Import Assist to be its personal assistant in imports.”
