EDDC03160 | Compliance visit: risks: deal
From HM Revenue & Customs · Excise Due Diligence Condition guidance
supplies are offered via unsolicited emails/flyers received out of the blue
goods are offered at incredibly low prices which seem too good to be true
free gifts of similar or other excise goods (which may not be full documented) and in themselves would place a question over the deal as a whole
other incentives such as contingency discounts which overall make the deal sound too good to be true
the goods are to be routed from an unusual supply route that in itself would add significant logistic costs, but are priced in direct competition to goods which can be sourced from a more direct route
