Import and Export Services for UK Businesses

Complete UK import and export services. We manage customs declarations, documentation, compliance checks, and freight coordination for businesses trading internationally. We also set up PVA for UK customs on your declarations so import VAT does not hold up cash flow.

About Our Import & Export Services Service

You might be importing raw materials from Asia, exporting manufactured goods to the Middle East or trading with partners in Europe. In each case we handle the customs declarations, the documents and the freight. For EU supply chains, see importing from France to the UK.

We classify your goods correctly, look for legal ways to reduce the duty and check the rules for each route.

Import & Export Services Process

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our import & export services.

You typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, EORI number, and potentially certificates of origin or product-specific licences. We tell you exactly what your goods need and prepare the documents.

Commodity codes (HS codes) classify goods for customs and set the duty rate. We can review your product range and check you are using the right codes, so you neither overpay nor take a compliance risk.

Yes. We manage both UK import and export formalities, including export declarations via HMRC CDS, certificates of origin (EUR1, ATR, GSP), ATA Carnets for temporary exports, and export licences for controlled goods.

Yes. Every UK business that imports or exports goods needs an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) number. You apply to HMRC for free, and it typically takes 5-10 working days. We can walk you through the application.

Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA) allows UK businesses to account for import VAT on their VAT return rather than paying it at the border. That helps cash flow, because the VAT is not paid up front. We set your imports up to use PVA where it applies.
