Customs Import Declarations in UK
Customs Import Declarations in UK are required by importers of goods. These declarations provide details about the items being imported, including their quantity and value. They are an important part of the customs process and are used to determine duties and taxes owed on imports.
There are several different types of customs import declarations that can be made:
General Declaration - For goods that have no special restrictions or requirements attached to them
Exemptions - For certain items that are exempt from customs import duties and taxes, such as food, clothing, books, and medicines
Special Declaration - for goods that require additional information or documentation to be handled in a specific way
Customs Brokerage - For goods that will be sent through a broker before being delivered to the importer
Customs Clearance - For goods that have been cleared by customs inspection and are ready to be released from customs control
A Customs Clearance is a document issued by customs (UK Border Agency) that states that you have released your shipment and it is now being processed through the UK Customs system. It is usually issued within 24 hours of the shipment being cleared out of the country. If you intend to export your shipment, you must ensure this document is completed and signed by a registered agent before releasing your shipment.
