Customs Clearance Explained

Temporary storage facilities for importers/exporters

A customs clearance facility provides a solution to importers and exporters requiring customs clearance in the UK. As a licensed temporary storage facility inside an approved area that has been approved by Border Force, customs controlled goods can be moved into storage there prior to being placed under a customs procedure or re-exported.

We have the capability to handle all customs clearance goods, and provide these temporary storage facilities to freight forwarders, customs agents, warehouse keepers & transport companies who are able to utilise the storage for up to the 90 day time limit. At a time when customs checks and the time taken to release goods by UK Customs have been increasing, our approved facility is needed more than ever.

Benefits and features of using our customs clearance services include:

Border Force approved warehouse facility
Cheaper alternative to expensive port storage costs
Defer duty and taxes on the imported goods until the goods are assigned to a customs-approved treatment or use
Additional time to obtain required import licences or additional documentation prior to completing a full customs declaration

We just wanted to say a big thank you to the amazing team who moved us last week. The men worked so hard, were really friendly and made, what is an otherwise stressful process, easy and completely stress-free

I just thought I would let you know, our recent driver has been amazing! She’s really helpful, knows exactly what she’s doing and is not afraid to help out. Our Warehouse Op has been very happy with the recent pickups and I got to see it first hand myself and I have to agree.
