Import / Export Code for Photography & Videography Businesses

Why Import / Export Code

In practice, keeping records for five years, issuing compliant invoices and filing on time are the ongoing obligations that follow Import / Export Code. For most clients, penalties for late Import / Export Code or late filing start at fixed amounts and grow with delay, which is why GoldenKey diarises every deadline for its clients. GoldenKey has licensed photography & videography in Import / Export Code for clients ranging from solo founders to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.
