When preparing to export or import goods from and into the UK, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you of the importance of border force and the role they play in goods crossing the UK borders.
Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will explain that the UK Border Force ensure that all goods and people entering of leaving the UK are compliant with legal requirements. Although when shipping goods, this is primarily how they would be involved with the compliance of the goods you are shipping. Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will always advise you of any regulations or controls you need to be aware of before importing or exporting goods into or out of the UK.
Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you that if you are importing goods into the UK on certain import customs procedures, your goods may be pulled by border force on their arrival in the UK for an inspection. Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will explain that this is usually the case with containers being imported on ATA Carnets or with a Tax and Duty exemption, as they must be sure of all goods entering the country and that there are no goods which have not have the relevant Tax and Duty paid on their import into the UK. However, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will also advise that this does happen with vehicles on occasion onboard RORO vessels, if Border Force notice something which doesn’t align correctly, they will be sure to inspect the goods.
If your container is pulled by Border Force for an inspection, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you as soon as they have been told by customs that there is a customs hold on the goods. Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will be in contact with Border Force if required on your behalf.
The inspection may only be an X-Ray of the container to determine no banned or restricted items are inside such as weapons and counterfeit goods. However, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you if the container has been selected for a full turn out and internal inspection of the goods.
Once all the checks are completed and Border Force are satisfied with the goods, they will release the customs hold on the goods and the container will be released to the haulier to collect and unload the goods or delivery to the unloading site.
