UK Customs Clearance
Send us the commercial invoice, packing list and shipment details. We will check the information needed for the customs handover, including commodity code questions and duty and VAT assumptions.
Customs support
UK customs clearance depends on the quality of the information prepared before arrival. Commercial invoice values, packing list details, importer information, commodity codes and duty/VAT assumptions should be checked before goods are already at the border.
We flag customs questions before shipment release, then connect the clearance with final UK delivery.
Clearance process
The customs stage works best when documents, values and shipment details are prepared before arrival.
Commercial invoice, packing list, product descriptions and shipment details are checked for obvious gaps.
Commodity code questions, duty rates and VAT assumptions are made visible before clearance.
EORI status, delivery party, invoice values and declared information are prepared for the import process.
Customs handover is coordinated with the freight route and required shipment documents.
Once cleared, the final UK delivery route can be arranged to the client address, warehouse or 3PL.
What can delay clearance
Generic descriptions can make commodity code checks harder. Product material, use and specification should be clear.
Carton count, weights, values and product lines should make sense across the supplier invoice and packing list.
The buyer should understand likely duty, VAT and import costs before goods are already moving.
Clearance should connect to final delivery, so goods do not sit waiting for a warehouse or courier instruction.
