Importing Goods into the UK
 

When importing goods, it is important to have the correct documentation and customs arrangements in place before the shipment arrives.
 

We can assist with:
 

  • UK import customs declarations

  • Commodity code and document checks

  • Customs valuation and origin information

  • Customs duty and import VAT considerations

  • Temporary Admission and special customs procedures

  • Returned goods and re-importations

  • Transit movements

  • Coordination with your supplier, carrier or freight forwarder

​​

We review the information provided and raise potential issues wherever possible before submitting the declaration. This can help reduce delays and avoid unexpected problems when your goods reach the border.

Exporting Goods from the UK

A UK export declaration is only one part of an international shipment. Your goods may also require transit documents, confirmation of exit and import clearance in the destination country.


We can help coordinate:
 

  • UK export customs declarations

  • EU import customs clearance

  • Transit documentation

  • Temporary exports

  • Returned and replacement goods

  • Goods sent for repair, processing or exhibition

  • Supporting documents and proof of export

  • Communication with the carrier and overseas customer
     

Where required, we can coordinate both the UK and European customs formalities, giving you one point of contact for the overall movement.
