If you instruct us to ship your commercial goods, then we can usually provide the necessary, and highly recommended insurance cover, whilst the goods are in transit.

Although it is called ‘Marine’ insurance, it is not just for goods travelling by sea. We can usually arrange insurance for your goods when travelling by air cargo and also road transport.

Of course exceptions apply, but to find out if we can insure your goods and for a no-obligation quote, please contact our Imports Team.

Firstly, if your goods are currently on a Courier service, with Companies such as: DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT etc., then we cannot assist you. These Companies provide a full pre-paid service which includes the Customs clearance and transport to your door.

If, however, you have received your goods and the Courier Company hasn’t declared your goods correctly to UK Customs, resulting in an amendment and/or reclaim to be submitted, then this is where we can help.

If your goods have arrived by Royal Mail and are at the Heathrow World Distribution Centre (HWDC), and you have received a Notice of Arrival, giving you an ‘SPP’ reference number, then we offer you a fast and efficient Customs clearance service, at a very competitive price. We will use all of our experience to clear and delivery your goods, without incurring any unnecessary costs and delays, which could result in your goods being returned.

Needless to say, when we declare goods to Customs, we can arrange for the payment of any duty and/or VAT to Customs on your behalf. But there are also occasions when there is a need to advise UK Customs that the circumstances surrounding the importation of goods has changed. Or perhaps, too much duty and/or VAT was originally paid, for whatever the reason. When this happens, we are here to help. We can provide the following services:

• Post-Clearance submission of Customs Forms to relevant department (e.g. to obtain a NOVA letter to register a motor vehicle with the DVLA)
• Post-Clearance amendments and Reclaim of any over paid duty and/or VAT.
• Contact our Imports Team for more information on Post Clearance Entry Amendments / Reclaims.

We can usually arrange for your goods to be delivered to your preferred delivery address. Just let our Imports team know where and when you want your goods delivered, and we will give our best price.

We can help with the export of your goods to the E.U. Just let our Imports team know which port and the destination country and we will give our best price.
