Goods Clearance Experts
Support & Documentation
As international experts in freight forwarding, customs clearances naturally become part of our customer solutions. Offering customs support and documentation, our team can clear goods at all and any UK port or airport.
For many businesses, customs procedures are daunting for exporters and importers alike and in a recent survey, the British Chamber of Commerce reported that in their survey 45% of UK businesses cite customs procedures and documentation as the top barrier to their exporting and yet 37% of exporters expect to increase their exports over the next three years.
Post-Brexit regulations have made life difficult for both exporters and importers and that’s where our TQ Express customs team can deliver results and a stress-free experience when it comes to customs documentation.

The Importance Of
Customs Declarations
A Customs Declaration is an essential component of the broader import or export process, and getting it right is critical. At TQ Express, we help ensure that your goods cross borders seamlessly and in full compliance with regulations. If your business is set up with a GB EORI number and ready to import goods into GB, the supplier exporting the goods must be also fully prepared.
Your supplier may need an export license or certificate specific to the goods being shipped, along with an export customs declaration. Additionally, to take advantage of reduced or zero-duty rates, they may need to include a specific statement on their export documentation.
By partnering with a reliable customs agent like TQ Express, you’ll ensure that your customs declarations are processed accurately and efficiently. With over 35 years of expertise, we ensure compliance with all customs rules, correctly calculate duty rates based on the Import Commodity Code, and identify any licenses required for your goods.
Our dedicated customs team will also help determine whether your goods qualify for reduced or zero-duty rates. For VAT-registered companies, we can guide you on reclaiming any VAT paid during the import process. Once your goods are cleared and safely delivered, we recommend maintaining thorough records of your invoices and customs documentation for future reference and compliance purposes.
At TQ Express, we simplify customs procedures, minimise delays, and ensure your shipments are fully compliant with UK import regulations. Let us handle the complexities while you focus on growing your business.
