Questions

Good to know

What do I need for customs clearance?

Usually a commercial invoice, a packing list and your EORI number. We'll check your documents and tell you if anything is missing.

What is an EORI number?

An EORI number identifies your business to customs. You need one to import or export goods between the UK and EU.

What is bonded storage?

Goods stored in a bonded warehouse don't have import duty or VAT paid until they leave. It can help your cash flow, especially for stock that's re-exported.

Can you clear goods I've shipped with another forwarder?

Yes. Get in touch with your shipment details and we'll let you know how we can help.
