Clearance, freight, haulage and handling. One team, one number.
Everything below is handled by the same people on 0161 262 0189, so your shipment never gets passed between departments.
Import and export clearance at every UK sea port and airport.
Customs clearance is the heart of what we do. We submit import and export declarations directly to HMRC's Customs Declaration Service (CDS), for containers, groupage, air cargo and everything in between. Our home strength is Felixstowe, London Gateway, Southampton and Liverpool, and because declarations are electronic we clear goods at every UK sea port and airport.
We check your paperwork before your cargo arrives, classify your goods properly, and tell you what duty and import VAT to expect in plain English before the bill exists. Where a preference scheme or a duty relief applies to your goods, we claim it on the declaration rather than leaving your money on the table.
- Import and export declarations submitted to CDS
- Commodity code classification and duty advice
- Import VAT handled through postponed VAT accounting where it suits you
- Duty deferment and payment options explained up front
- Transit documents (T1) arranged where goods move under bond
- Port health and plant health entries (IPAFFS) for food and plant products
- Safety and security declarations (ENS) where required
- EORI applications for first-time importers
- Holds, queries and inspections chased until release
FCL and LCL forwarding with clearance built in.
We arrange full container loads (FCL) and shared-container groupage (LCL) on your import and export lanes, into and out of the four gateways and beyond. Because the same team books the freight and files the customs entry, nothing falls between a shipping line, a broker and a haulier: one company owns the whole move.
Tell us the origin, the cargo and the timing that matters, and we will come back with routing options and an honest view on transit times, not just the cheapest slot on a schedule.
- FCL bookings: 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube
- LCL groupage for smaller consignments
- Door-to-door or port-to-door, priced as you need it
- Customs clearance included in one quote
- Cargo insurance arranged on request
Air cargo forwarding and airport clearance.
For urgent, high-value or lighter shipments, we arrange air freight into and out of UK airports including Heathrow and Manchester, with customs clearance handled at the airport by the same team that quotes your job. If sea is the wrong answer for a shipment, we say so and price the air option properly.
- Airport-to-airport or airport-to-door
- Import and export airport clearances at UK airports
- Consolidated and direct options priced against each other
- Plain advice on when air is worth it, and when it is not
From the quay to your door, or into storage until you need it.
Clearance is only useful if the goods then move. We arrange container haulage from all four gateways to anywhere in the UK, and where you need more than a straight delivery we handle the cargo itself: devanning containers, repalletising, relabelling and holding stock in storage until you call it off.
- Container haulage nationwide from Felixstowe, London Gateway, Southampton and Liverpool
- Final-mile delivery arranged across the UK
- Container devanning and loading, with tally and check
- Palletising, shrink-wrapping and relabelling
- Short and long term storage before onward delivery
