Import Declarations
CDS import entries for goods entering the UK from the EU and the rest of the world
Every shipment entering the UK requires a customs import declaration. We prepare and lodge full Customs Declaration Service (CDS) entries for imports arriving by road, sea or air — from EU member states, Turkey, and any other country.
Our process covers commodity code classification, tariff and duty calculation, preferential origin claims under trade agreements (including the EU-UK TCA), VAT accounting via Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA), and submission of the full declaration to HMRC. We also handle inland clearance, customs warehousing entries (IPR/OPR), and simplified procedures (CFSP) where appropriate.
