For UK Manufacturers and Exporters
North American trade advisory
for UK companies
Peacock Tariff Consulting helps UK manufacturers and exporters get their North American duty position right, from classification, valuation and origin to drawback and rulings, with partnership-level advice on U.S. and Canadian trade.
Trade is now a C-suite issue
Supply chains, sourcing and trade compliance now call for high-level strategy, not just a broker relationship or a single person in the organisation. As U.S. trade policy rapidly changes, UK companies need a North American trade partner they can trust.
PTC understands where the opportunities and risks are in North American markets, and helps clients adapt to the new reality of international trade in real time while future-proofing their operations.
How we help

Entering North America
Support for companies entering the North American market for the first time.
02
Expanding presence
Support for companies expanding their presence in North America.
03
Building resilience

Kyle Peacock, Founder and Principal, PTC

Why PTC
Partnership-level advice
We offer partnerships on a level that is not possible with the “Big 4” or boutique firms that don’t have North American desks.
North American expertise at the core
HTS classification, CBP ruling requests, duty drawback, Canadian customs and USMCA/Section 338 analysis are core PTC competencies, not work passed to a separate U.S. desk.
Canada–Europe collaboration
Based in Ontario, Canada, PTC represents what Canada–Europe trade collaboration can look like at a time when U.S. trade policy is changing significantly.
Customised, client-first
Our approach turns fast-changing trade policy into clear, actionable decisions.
Our scope
PTC advises on U.S. and Canadian customs and trade matters. We do not file UK customs declarations or provide UK customs representation. Our focus is your North American trade position.
