Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

My name is Thomas Schnepp. I support companies in the areas of foreign trade, customs, and export processing with a clear focus on the tariff classification of goods.

My current focus is on checking and determining customs tariff numbers / HS codes, plausibility checks of product descriptions, and the clean preparation of customs-relevant information for import and export processes. I work in a practical, structured manner, keeping in mind the requirements of day-to-day business, especially in order processing.

I support clients in describing goods comprehensibly, checking appropriate customs tariff numbers, and reducing risks from unclear or incomplete information. I value clear communication, comprehensible results, and pragmatic implementation.

Further topics such as supplier declarations, preferential origin, export controls, or general customs and foreign trade issues can be requested separately.
