Does Clarus file directly to HMRC?<\/h4>\r\n

Today, Clarus produces HMRC-ready weekly duty outputs you can submit. Direct HMRC integration is on the roadmap; we\u2019ll align with the authority\u2019s interfaces when available.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Can we mix bonded and duty-paid stock for the same SKU?<\/h4>\r\n

Yes. Status is tracked per receipt\/lot\/pallet. The system prevents invalid movements and applies duty logic only when payable, keeping mixed flows compliant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

How are duty rates maintained?<\/h4>\r\n

Duty attributes live on the product record. When rates or tax types change, update once and new calculations apply immediately; historic movements retain their original logic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What evidence is available for audits?<\/h4>\r\n

Every movement is timestamped with user, device, quantity, location, and decision context (in bond vs duty-paid). Weekly reports itemise payable duty by product and tax type.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Do you support dry bonded goods?<\/h4>\r\n

Dry-bonded capability is on our development roadmap. Today\u2019s feature set focuses on wet bonded (alcohol) with full duty tracking and reporting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Will this slow down dispatch?<\/h4>\r\n

No. Duty checks and calculations run in the flow of work. Operators follow scanner prompts; finance runs the weekly export; compliance gets the audit trail (without adding steps at the bench).<\/p>","test":"","feature_result_widget_test_":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
