Pre-arrival document review
We check the invoice, packing list, transport record and product details, then flag gaps before a declaration is submitted.

What we handle
Clearance work, from first check to handover.
We check the shipment and scope before taking it on. Customs approval, inspection and terminal release are controlled by the relevant authorities and operators.
CDS import declarations
We prepare and submit UK commercial import declarations using the information and authority you provide.
Commodity and value checks
We review classification, origin, valuation, duty and VAT information so the declaration reflects the supporting documents.
Customs queries and controls
We monitor the customs response and tell you what documents or action an HMRC or border control request requires.
Container release handover
We coordinate customs-status updates with the relevant port, carrier or haulage contact; terminal and carrier release remain separate steps.
Export clearance too
If you also need UK export declarations, tell us the route and goods so we can confirm the requirements and whether we can assist.
A useful first call
Tell us what is arriving.
Have a description of the goods, origin, arrival port and expected date. If you already have the invoice, packing list or bill of lading, we can say what else may be needed for the customs entry.
Before we submit
We confirm the goods, documentation and declaration route with you. If a permit, control or specialist review may be needed, we will flag it rather than assume it is a routine entry.
