The Customs clearance is the process of changing the customs status of goods entering or leaving the UK. It’s required for most goods. But … how does it works?
The process depends on how the goods are moving in or out of the UK and your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise on best solution
The Customs Clearance Agents UK will make sure that the shipper will provide documentation that the customs formalities at export point have been completed
The Customs Clearance Agents UK will make sure that this declaration is correct as the process allows HM Customs & Excise to account for charges, ensure correct documentation, and monitor goods.
