We’ve recently welcomed two new additions to our TariffTel team who have come onboard to support our customers including M&S, Primark, Boohoo and ASDA in achieving reliability and accuracy in their customs classification. Harrison Bay joins us in the role of Customs Classification Specialist and Elizabeth Pascoe joins us as a Customs Administrator.  

They join a talented team of skilled customs classification specialists who are driving forward our TariffTel solution ensuring goods reach their destination without the hassle of border delays and non-compliance fines which inaccurate tariff codes often can bring, as retailers know at their cost. 

Both are passionate about product classification and HS codes, researching and understanding the interpretive challenges each product can present. One of our specialists, Daniel Mcmenemy, discusses the interpretive challenges of classifying Summer outdoor products in a recent blog.  

Harrison Bay Joins from Harbour Shipping where he held the previous position of a Customs Entry Clerk, responsible for the smooth and timely running of customs procedures. His role involved comparing international shipment data with source documents and checking for accuracy in data for customs clearance into the UK from HMRC. As well as completing various customs entry declarations and supporting documents e.g. licenses. At CORE, he brings these data skills and more to ensure the TariffTel database is fully up to date, liaising with customers to solve even the most complex of classification questions.

Elizabeth Pascoe joins from Lidl where she was a Customs Officer, she was responsible for collecting detailed information from various sources to enable correct classification and auditing whilst also ensuring commodity codes, preference, excise codes and import controls are correct throughout Lidl GB. Prior to that she worked for a specialist logistics company that ships Fine Art and Antiques. Here she held the position of a Shipping Administrator where her role involved collating and shipping high value shipments internationally and nationally ensuring the correct TA, Export Licences and CITES for customs clearance. Elizabeth’s role at CORE as a Customs Administrator will see her work across all elements of our TariffTel solution whether businesses are shipping 100+ SKUs or 100,000+ SKUs.
