Our Import Team specialise in all aspects of UK import shipping.\u00a0 We can handle all shipping services you require.\u00a0 For example, if you need an agent to handle the pick-up of your goods in the USA, sea freight to the UK, customs clearance at the UK port and onward delivery to your door, we can help.\u00a0 Likewise if you just need clearance at the UK port because the freight aspect is covered with a buying term you have agreed with your supplier, we can help.<\/p>\n
Ideally, it is best to talk to a UK customs clearance agent even before you have bought your goods, as sometimes there are certain restrictions, or particularly heavy duty charges on some types of goods.\u00a0 An example is ceramic tiles from China, there is a very steep \u2018anti-dumping\u2019 duty designed to \u201callow the EC to take action against goods that are sold at less than their normal value\u201d.\u00a0 So it\u2019s a good idea to check you know there will be no nasty surprises.<\/p>\n
Our import customs clearance team can help you calculate any VAT & duty that is payable upon arrival in the UK.\u00a0 The amount of import VAT & duty depends on the nature of the goods and their value on the commercial invoice.\u00a0 Most of our customers appoint us to handle their VAT & duty payments to HMRC, to allow swift clearance through customs, avoiding any high charges associated with delays.<\/p>\n
