We do offer a Fast Track service. Please contact our Imports Team for more details.
3 reasons why you should use a Customs broker
01. Making a complicated process, easy
Since the introduction (in 2022) of the Customs declaration form on the new Customs ‘CDS’ system, you can no longer arrange the Customs clearance of your goods/item directly with HMRC. Now you will need to employ the services of a Customs broker.
We can certainly assist you with this. Please contact our experienced team who will be able to advise on the procedures and costs involved.
02. Speeds up the Customs process
When things are done right the first time, the amount of time that your goods are held pending release from Customs can be reduced.
Depending on the service required and time which you give us your instructions and copy documents, we do offer a same-day ‘Fast Track’ Customs Clearance service. Please ask a member of our Import Team for more details via the email address or phone number on our website.
This means that not only do you get your goods quicker, but you also minimise the chance of incurring storage charges.
03. Paying a small fee which could save you a lot of money
As mentioned in number 2, delays in Customs clearance could result in storage charges being incurred.
Likewise, in number 1, by not using an ‘AEO’ accredited Customs broker, your goods may not be declared to Customs correctly, which could result in you paying more duty and/or VAT than you need to.
