We hold AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) status with HMRC at the highest level.
From our head office in Felixstowe, we have direct EDI links to HMRC to cover all the main UK sea ports / inland depots. This ensures smooth UK customs clearance for all our clients.
Our customs clearance department is a team of highly skilled professionals, guiding you through the complex process of clearance. Together, they have over 100 years’ worth of combined experience, which often proves to be priceless in the industry.
We attract a variety of customers, from first-time importers who need guidance and information on customs, to large international brands. Products that we clear end up on the high street, your local supermarkets, and your favourite online stores. In 2017, we featured in FoodChain magazine (winter 2017) as a specialist partner to some of the large food importers.
Our specialist team deals with importing and exporting goods from and to all worldwide markets. We offer standard customs clearance services, along with extensive experience in handling complex UK customs procedures. These include DEFRA, Port Health, Forestry Commission, Bonded/ERTS cargo, IPR, T1 discharges, and temporary importation. These services are crucial when moving goods across borders seamlessly.
Since January 1st, 2021, when the UK left the EU, we started offering extra services. These services help both new and existing customers who need help from a customs clearance expert.
