SGS e-Customs UK

Making import and export declarations through the same broker will enable you to save time and costs and reduce the risk of error.

Post-Brexit, UK companies wishing to transport their goods to and from mainland Europe and beyond now need a import and export documentation. Every year we submit over 100,000 import and export declarations in the UK, supporting exporters from all industries with all types of products to all possible destinations. We also draw up relevant documents such as certificates of origin (IPAFFS) and excise duties documents (eAD).
