Customs Clearance (incl. ATA Carnets)

Services

Cross borders with confidence. Expert UK customs clearance and ATA Carnets for events, AV, IT and medical equipment. Planned, compliant and on schedule.

End-to-end customs support for time-critical movements

From first quote to border release, we de-risk cross-border moves. We build the right customs route (carnet vs. temporary import), prepare declarations, generate GVMS entries, manage T1 where needed and coordinate with port agents. Your crew gets precise instructions and live status so vehicles clear quickly and hit venue or site slots.

ATA Carnets for events, tours and time-limited projects

  • For live events, tours, exhibitions and demos, ATA Carnets streamline temporary exports and re-imports of professional kit. We advise on carnet suitability vs. temporary admission, assemble itemised gear lists, ensure accurate commodity codes, values and country coverage, and manage endorsements at departure/arrival. Drivers receive step-by-step carnet handling guides to avoid stamp errors. On multi-stop EU itineraries, we plan sequences to prevent page conflicts and keep the carnet valid for the full run. After return, we close out correctly to avoid duties or penalties—delivering a clean paper trail for finance and compliance.
  • Beyond carnets—declarations, T1 transit and safety & security

    Not every job fits a carnet. For IT infrastructure builds, medical device installs or sales shipments, we handle export/import declarations, T1 transit documents for inland clearance, and ENS/EXS filings to meet safety & security requirements. We validate EORI numbers, confirm incoterms, and align with your preference for temporary admission or permanent import. Our team coordinates GVMS references for UK ports, books agents at key frontiers and pre-notifies destination sites, minimising dwell times. Expect clear instructions for drivers, including document packs, parking locations and inspection procedures.

    Compliance, cost clarity and real-time status

    We combine meticulous documentation with transparent pricing and live status updates. You’ll receive a pre-move compliance checklist (IDs, serials, values, origin), a declaration summary and confirmation of border appointments. During transit, we share MRNs, GVMS codes and release messages. Post-move, we provide a document bundle for audit—declaration copies, carnet pages, and any duty/VAT evidence. The outcome: predictable crossings, clean records and fewer surprises for finance, procurement and compliance teams.
