Customs Clearance And services 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 services and 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 ETSF 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
