Customs Clearance & Compliance
CDS entries lodged right first time — with the classification advice to back them.
Customs is where freight becomes compliance. Every import and export needs a declaration on HMRC's Customs Declaration Service, a correct commodity code, and evidence to survive an audit six years later. We clear shipments we move — and shipments we don't.
Import & export declarations
Entries lodged on CDS with the MRN back to you as proof, duty and VAT calculated up front so there are no surprises on arrival.
Classification & duty advice
The HS code sets your duty rate. We help you classify correctly and use preferential origin where a trade agreement earns you a lower rate.
Special procedures
Inward processing, customs warehousing and returned-goods relief where they genuinely save duty — set up with the paperwork HMRC expects.
Standalone clearance
Already have freight arranged? We'll act as your customs agent on shipments moved by others.
How clearance is priced
A fixed fee per declaration, itemised on your quote, plus any duty and VAT collected at cost. Using your own broker instead? Every instant quote lets you untick our clearance line.
Common questions
What do you need from me for an import entry?
Commercial invoice, packing list, your GB EORI, the commodity code (or a good description and we'll classify it), and the incoterm on the sale.
What is postponed VAT accounting?
PVA lets a VAT-registered importer account for import VAT on the VAT return instead of paying it at the border — better for cash flow, and we set entries up for it by default when you're eligible.
Can you clear personal effects?
Our focus is commercial cargo; personal and household moves are usually better served by a specialist remover.
