Bio
Jim Vance
Saul was able to reduce our overseas client's bid to replace a manufacturing component for a major multinational automotive supplier, reducing shipping and customs expenses from almost $100,000 over the incumbant competitors expenses, to being $158,000 under. He accomplished this in various ways, most of which we had not been aware of. After learning about our client and researching their prospective automotive supplier, he leveraged several programs that provided our client a competitive edge. For example, the PROSEC program reduces or eliminates import duties on certain materials imported into Mexico. His resources in Mexico established that the prospect had a PROSEC license. He also determined that Canada granted the client's country a General Preferential Tariff (GPT). Additionally, Saul helped us get the National Import Specialist overseeing this component for the U.S. Customs & Border Protection, to reclassify it under a different harmonized code (HS number), reducing customs to almost zero. We would never have expected such a positive outcome and believe Saul to be one of the best in his industry.
