Import and Customs Expert
Katarzyna Mazur
Experience from the front line
Katarzyna joined Business Precision in October 2017. Before she came to our office in Białystok, she worked for 6 years in a customs agency directly at the border crossing in Kuźnica. She knows the reality of working on the ramp and in the office. She doesn't deal with theory, but with specific papers that must pass through the customs system without errors. In the whole of 2024, she personally verified 342 customs declarations for our clients.
Concrete numbers instead of promises
We speak plainly about the law, and Katarzyna is the best example. The average time she checks the correctness of a proforma invoice and SAD document is 34 minutes. Thanks to her meticulousness, one of our clients – a machine parts manufacturer – avoided a penalty of 12,480 PLN in March 2024. The reason was a wrongly assigned commodity code when importing from China. Katarzyna caught the error 11 minutes after receiving the email with documentation.
Practical approach to customs
At Business Precision, we make sure you don't pay a penny more than regulations require. Katarzyna specializes in recovering overpaid import VAT and in simplified procedures. In the last quarter (Q3 2024), she helped 14 companies from the region shorten the clearance time of goods by an average of 1.5 hours on each transport. She does this by correctly preparing instructions for carriers and customs agencies.
No fluff about regulations
If your documents are poorly prepared, Katarzyna will tell you straight to your face. We don't look for excuses, we just fix errors before shipping the goods. Her principle is simple: we check the paragraphs, you earn. She can be strict when checking CE certificates and product origin, but thanks to this, our clients have no problems with tax audits, which in 2024 became much more frequent in Podlasie.
Heads-up: Remember that customs declarations sent on Fridays after 2:30 PM are usually processed 2 hours longer by border systems. It is worth keeping this in mind when planning loading.
Local knowledge and contact
Katarzyna works in our office at ul. Lipowa 14 in Białystok from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM. She doesn't mess around with meetings that don't bring anything. If you have a specific clearance problem, just bring the documents or send them by email. You will usually receive a reply with a specific solution within 45–50 minutes. This is the fastest way to avoid border downtime and additional costs for storage.
