For example, your Customs Clearance Agents UK may ask you if the goods are being imported on a temporary basis and will later be re-exported from the UK, or if the goods are being imported for repairs and will then be re-exported, or on a permanent basis etc.
Your Customs Clearance Agent UK, will explain to you that depending on the reason for the import of the goods, will depend on the import procedure they use for the import declaration and therefore, there may be requirements for different customs procedure regimes being used.
Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will also advise you of the importance of the customs procedure code, as this will impact the Import Tax and Duty applicable on the import of your goods.
