Private Vehicle Imports – Collectible
Status:
Successfully Resolved
Overview
While assisting a client with the import of two vehicles, Titan Tides identified an opportunity to apply for a customs duty rebate under a lesser-known category — typically reserved for very specific types of vehicles.
Rather than take assumptions at face value, we submitted the applications with all the required compliance documents and allowed the process to unfold through the appropriate channels. The result was unexpected — but welcome.
Resolution
Both vehicles were successfully approved for rebate of customs duty, resulting in meaningful cost savings for the client — and setting a precedent for how a well-prepared submission and regulatory awareness can open doors others may not know exist.
The Outcome
Two vehicles granted customs rebate
Significant cost savings without compromising compliance
Processed entirely within regulatory frameworks
A positive result achieved through experience and up-to-date insight
Key Insight
Sometimes, the best results come not from pushing the system — but from understanding it better than most.
At Titan Tides, we make it our business to stay current, question default assumptions, and seek out avenues that balance compliance with value for our clients.
Note: Rebates of this nature are assessed strictly on a case-by-case basis.
