The paperwork standing between your goods and your customer.

We've spent 20+ years mastering it - so you don't have to.

Quick. Easy. Simple.
We take care of it all.

Why it matters

Customs can be unforgiving.

01

One wrong code

The wrong commodity code can mean paying more duty than you owe - or less, and a bill from HMRC later.

02

One missing document

Goods sit at the port. Storage fees stack up. Your customer waits, and asks you why.

03

Rules that keep moving

Trade deals, tariffs and border systems change. We track them, so you don't have to.

Post-Brexit, sorted

Brexit rewrote the rulebook.
We've read every page.

Since 1 January 2021, goods moving between the UK and the EU need customs declarations. New systems, new checks, new paperwork. We've navigated every change since day one - so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

THE NEW SYSTEM

Filed on CDS, every day

HMRC's Customs Declaration Service is where every UK declaration now lives. It's our daily tool - not your learning curve.

RULES OF ORIGIN

Zero tariffs aren't automatic

EU goods only travel duty-free if they qualify under the UK-EU trade deal. We check before you pay a penny you don't owe.

BORDER CHECKS

Food, plant & animal goods

New UK border checks now apply to many EU food and agri products. We tell you which apply - and what they need.

NORTHERN IRELAND

The Windsor Framework

Moving goods to Northern Ireland has its own rules. We handle those too.

How it works

Four steps. Zero jargon.

Questions, answered plainly.

What is a customs declaration?

It's the form that tells HMRC what's crossing the border, where it came from and what it's worth - so the right duty and VAT is paid and your goods can be released.

What's a commodity code - and how is it priced?

It's the number that tells HMRC exactly what your goods are, and how much duty they carry. Your first two codes are included in the price; each additional code on the same declaration is £7.50 + VAT. We'll confirm exactly which codes you need.

Do I need an EORI number?

Yes, to import or export from the UK. Don't have one? We'll walk you through getting it.

What documents do you need from me?

Usually a commercial invoice and a packing list. We'll tell you if anything else is needed for your goods.

Your goods, cleared.
Your mind, clear.

Five questions. Sixty seconds. Your price on screen.
