General Customs Clearance Information

All cargoes arriving into or departing from the UK must now have some type of clearance performed
for them.
Many require duties and VAT among 
other taxes to be paid, refunded, deferred or suspended.


Knowing what to pay and when is an important part of what we do.

Since the introduction of the new customs system 'CDS' late in 2022 we have been inundated with questions from customers old, new and even other clearing agents asking how things should be done, codes needed to clear the cargo correctly to avoid costly delays.


Our customs clearance department have experience of clearance formalities dating back to the late 80's and can offer advice on a wide range of subjects. From the basics of how to get started, right the way through to providing a 'health check' or assistance to active shippers and businesses, our team can extend the time required to put your mind at ease ensuring that your shipments are being processed in the correct way, should you be interested in help with customs formalities, customs compliance or even just one to one basic knowledge learning, we can help!

Our expert knowledge of up to date customs regimes and procedures are called upon daily, due to the
nature and size of our business you can be sure that there is always someone on the end of the
telephone or email who can provide help and guidance on all matters clearance related.
