If you require assistance with UK customs clearance, the Power Forwarding team has got you covered. We offer customs clearance services from any of the UK ports covering all types of entries including temporary imports, IPR/OPR (Inward / Outward Processing Relief), private importations, historic artefacts, vehicle clearance and food stuff. For all imports into the UK the consignee is required to submit an EORI (Economic Operator Registration Identification) number in order to clear through customs. We can supply the commercial document and application form as well as assist with completing this form. Most businesses will have this applied to their VAT number but if you are not VAT registered then they will simply issue you a fresh number to use. Once you are EORI registered you are then free to use the same number for all future imports, you can find out more from our import guide here.
The efficient handling of customs declarations is essential for the smooth operation of international shipments. Businesses often rely on experienced freight forwarders like Power Forwarding to manage this complex process, ensuring compliance and timely clearance of goods at every border. This process involves meticulous documentation and understanding of international trade laws, making it advisable for businesses to engage with knowledgeable customs brokers or freight forwarders to navigate this critical aspect of shipping.
In general for us to arrange customs clearance on your shipment we would require your EORI number as mentioned above, the commercial invoice and packing list from the supplier and a copy of the bill of lading. We will then enter HMRC, obtain the duty / VAT figures and then send you an invoice for all charges due. Once paid we’ll clear it with customs and then the shipment will be cleared for free circulation with the UK and the EU. Please contact us for a price for customs clearance of your FCL or LCL shipments. However complex the customs clearance issue, Power Forwarding’s customs office will deal with customs directly and professionally ensuring a smooth customs clearance process.
