Customs Services Across United Kingdom

Our office in Ashford, Kent, is a short drive from the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel. We file UK import, export, ENS safety and security and T1/T2 transit declarations, obtain the Goods Movement Reference in GVMS and the ELO for routes through France, and prepare the documents that travel with the lorry. For goods of animal and plant origin arriving in the EU we submit CHED notifications and keep in touch with the veterinary and phytosanitary services. For Northern Ireland we issue the GMR and the PBN. Other procedures on that route are agreed case by case.

Customs Services We Provide in the United Kingdom

GMR in GVMS

GMR in GVMS

A valid GMR is required for movements through UK ports that use GVMS, including the busy Port of Dover. We prepare GMRs for loaded and empty vehicles travelling between Great Britain and Europe, as well as between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
ELO for routes through France

ELO for routes through France

ELO is required for certain freight movements between Great Britain and France. It brings the customs information needed for the crossing together in one reference and is linked to the vehicle before arrival at the border.
UK import declarations

UK import declarations

We prepare and file import declarations for goods entering Great Britain from the EU and other countries. We check the documents provided, calculate the customs duties and import VAT where applicable, and follow the declaration through the customs process. If additional border formalities are required for your shipment, we can help coordinate them as well.
UK export declarations

UK export declarations

We handle UK export declarations for both standard and more complex shipments, working with different document sets and customs requirements. If additional border formalities are required for your shipment, we can help coordinate them as well.
ENS for safety and security declarations

ENS for safety and security declarations

We prepare and file ENS declarations for goods entering Great Britain from the EU and other countries. Requirements depend on the route, type of movement and goods, so we check each shipment individually and make sure the required safety and security information is submitted before arrival.

Northern Ireland customs supportNorthern Ireland Customs Support

We prepare GMR and PBN for goods movements involving Northern Ireland, depending on the route and crossing. We can also arrange transit procedures, ENS declarations and, on request, Irish export declarations. As requirements differ between Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland, we check the route and documents first and help arrange the customs formalities needed for the journey.

For goods of Northern Ireland origin travelling through Great Britain to Europe or Ukraine, we can also prepare the required CHED documentation and assist with the related controls.
