Customs and frontier controls

Organisations such as HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Rural Payments Agency have an interest in UK frontier or border controls. Many products crossing the UK frontier will be subject to some types of licensing and control - some products may be prohibited from entering at all.

One of the main services we offer to our clients is to arrange customs clearance of goods crossing the frontier. This relates to goods whether they are being imported or exported.

We have invested heavily on the specific software that communicates with the HMRC central computer, CHIEF. With nearly all HMRC functions and communications becoming electronic, the special software for reporting and payments is now a mandatory requirement.

Customs Clearance is an extremely complex process. TR Logistics Group are hand in hand with all the compliant software required which, mirrored by our highly experienced in-house brokerage team can navigate and assist you whatever your location, UK, Europe or International. It is our job to navigate you through the process to ensure you receive your goods in the quickest possible timeframe whilst adhering to all the rules and regulations within the law as laid down by HMRC.

Whether your goods are arriving or departing via air, road or sea and require customs clearance; have peace of mind by contacting TR Logistics Group in the very first instance. You will be safe in the knowledge that the very highest quality of customer service is afforded to you from beginning to end of the process.
