Customs clearance of import/export transits between the UK and Ireland with EU countries.
We provide customs clearance services for import, export, transit and special procedures in the UK. We enable compliance with the requirements of the UK customs system.
Benefits
Our specialists in the UK carefully check the completeness and correctness of documents such as customs declarations (CDS), commercial invoices, waybills (CMR), certificates of origin (e.g. EUR.1) or import permits, identify potential problems, make sure the goods are properly labelled, packaged and in accordance with the customs declaration. They represent the client during customs control, supervise the process of checking the goods by customs officers and solve problems during customs control.
Drafting and sending electronic customs declarations to CDS systems
We prepare and send electronic customs declarations on behalf of the client to the CDS ) system, which is mandatory for all imports and exports in the UK. We prepare the declaration, verify compliance with customs regulations and international trade agreements, send the declarations and monitor the status of the declaration, answering any questions the customs authorities may have, informing the client of the decision regarding the customs clearance in question.
Benefits
We facilitate the customs declaration process, which reduces clearance times and the risk of documentation errors. With the expertise of our experts on the UK side, we ensure that declarations are complete, correct and compliant, minimising the risk of delays and additional costs, while speeding up the movement of goods in international trade.
Customs debt security (duty deferment)-a mechanism for delayed payment of customs duties.
The customs debt security mechanism is particularly important for companies operating in the UK after Brexit, due to the increase in customs paperwork and costs associated with international trade. We offer customs debt security services, enabling businesses to defer customs payments.
Benefits
Deferred payment allows a company to manage its funds more efficiently. It speeds up the clearance of goods without the need for immediate payment of customs duties. This is particularly important for larger transactions.
A financial guarantee that protects customs against the loss of duties, taxes and other charges (T1 AND T2)
A security is a form of guarantee that customs and tax duties (e.g. VAT, customs, excise duties) will be paid in the event of a breach of the transit procedure (e.g. when goods go missing, are sold without being declared or the transit procedure is not properly closed). We provide adequate security in the transit procedure so that goods can move safely across borders.
Benefits
Carriers do not have to pay customs duties or taxes at each border, which streamlines the movement of goods. Goods can move through multiple countries without having to clear customs at each stage. Security provides customs authorities with protection against potential losses, making operations more secure.
