OUR SERVICES

To bring goods into the UK, you must submit a customs declaration, pay import VAT and duties, and in some cases obtain special authorisations or certifications. At Red Kite Customs Clearance Ltd, we handle the entire process for you—saving time, reducing stress, and ensuring full compliance with UK regulations.

IMPORT DECLARATIONS

Exporting goods from the UK isn’t just about UK customs—you also need to ensure full EU compliance for a smooth cross-border process. This means accurate customs declarations, the right authorisations and certifications, and meeting destination country requirements. At Red Kite Customs Clearance Ltd, we handle everything for you—both UK and EU sides—so your goods move without delays. Our multilingual team and European network make compliance simple and stress-free.

EXPORT DECLARATIONS

If your export isn’t going directly to its destination country, you’ll need a Transit document (T1) to move goods across other countries without paying duties at each border. At Red Kite Customs Clearance Ltd, we make this process simple by issuing the Local Reference Number (LRN), which allows you to obtain the T1 and start your journey without delays. Our team ensures your transit paperwork is accurate and compliant, so your goods move smoothly through Europe.

TRANSIT DOCUMENT (T1)

International trade doesn’t stop at UK customs. You may also need clearance in the country of departure or arrival to keep your supply chain moving. At Red Kite Customs Clearance Ltd, we provide a complete cross-border solution through our network of trusted European agents. This all-inclusive service ensures documentation is prepared on both sides of the border, making the process faster, more efficient, and more attractive for your clients and suppliers.
With multilingual support and local expertise, we simplify compliance and eliminate delays.

CROSS-BORDER SERVICE

Customs processes can be complex, time-consuming, and costly—and non-compliance can lead to serious risks. At Red Kite Customs Clearance Ltd, we provide expert consultancy to help you streamline your customs operations, reduce costs, and stay fully compliant with UK and EU regulations. Our team advises on the most efficient strategies for your business, ensuring smooth trade and peace of mind.
