Meridian delivers duty and VAT recovery through two delivery modes: a managed compliance service where we run the process end to end (live now), or the Meridian platform where your team runs the workflow in-house or with your 3PL (early access).
Compliance-first. Audit-ready evidence. No promises on HMRC timelines.
Choose fully managed if you want Meridian to handle the entire compliance workflow. Choose the self-service platform if your team (or 3PL) prefers to run the process internally.
Meridian runs the compliance workflow end to end: MRN matching, evidence packs, CDS filing, and exception handling. You stay the Declarant. We do the work.
Your team (or 3PL) runs the workflow using the Meridian platform. The Customs Gateway module handles real-time relief at re-import — same compliance engine: MRN matching, evidence packs, audit logs. Your team controls the process.
Platform access is limited. Pricing on request. Not publicly launched.
Each service addresses a specific recovery objective. Select the one that matches your situation — or combine them for comprehensive coverage.
Going-forward relief on new returns
Implement a compliant returns lane so duty and VAT relief is claimed correctly on every eligible return from day one. Prevent double-payment at re-import with structured MRN matching and evidence packs.
3-year lookback across all relief types
Audit up to three years of import, export, and returns data to quantify missed relief. File claims for every eligible transaction with HMRC-ready evidence packs and structured exception handling.
Customs Drawback, HS code errors, valuation corrections
Recover duty on goods imported into the UK and later re-exported. Correct overpayments caused by incorrect HS codes, customs valuations, or missed preferential tariff rates — up to 3 years back.
Offer duty and VAT recovery as a value-added service to your clients. You manage logistics and intake. Meridian manages the compliance workflow.
Supplementary services designed to reduce exceptions, improve eligibility rates, and support operational scaling.
