    Import Declaration submissions

    I spent about an hour on a 'Google Meet' video call yesterday afternoon with J Lund at app.customs-declarations.uk going through the application on their on-line app to make and submit my import customs declaration which all went smoothly. The google Meet facility allows screen sharing which is...

    Import Declaration submissions

    As may already know, HMRC's website has a list of approved companies who provide software either downloadable or online to enable you to make customs declarations. As far as I'm aware this is the only way to do it. I am shortly heading to Slovenia by car to pick up a boat on its trailer and...

    Unexpected Terminal Handling Charges (THC) UK from China

    Hmmm... all sounds very familiar to me! See my post from a while back: https://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/threads/is-every-single-uk-import-agent-run-by-crooks.420498/#post-3196779 - some useful input from members there. Bottom line is that you should endeavor to get one reputable agent to...

    Completing a CN22 For Exporting a Repaired Item Back to the EU

    OK - thanks. That has at least cleared up the commodity code question. As you say, I'll just talk to Royal Mail in future (tho from previous experience, I won't get much more sense out of them - the whole country is falling apart).

    Completing a CN22 For Exporting a Repaired Item Back to the EU

    Hi CustomsGeek, What I didn't ask explicitly is what tariff code I should put on the CN22 when returning the repaired item to the customer? I am still having real problems with this - the relevant page of HMRC is utterly hopeless as it simply does not appear to cater for my situation (hardly...

    Completing a CN22 For Exporting a Repaired Item Back to the EU

    Hi 'Customs Geek. Thanks very much - that all makes sense. I'll do a little spiel for future customers from outside the UK to refer to.

    Importing Class 1.4S 'Dangerous' Goods into the UK from South Africa

    Thank you but the articles concerned (being designated as Class 1.4S and UN0432) are specifically *not* 'explosives'. I am beginning to think I may be overthinking this - after all the manufacturer makes much of the lack of need for compliance with regulations in general surrounding the use of...

    Importing Class 1.4S 'Dangerous' Goods into the UK from South Africa

    Hi, I'm looking for some guidance on what obligations there are on my company importing a quantity of articles used in rock-breaking into the UK from South Africa. I have a 'certificate of competency' for actually using the devices having done a course a while back. Unfortunately, the company...

    First time Importing from China as a Limited Company. I Need Help !!! Thank you

    Hi, I'm also not-VAT registered (and 8 years in - but I'm supposed to be retired!)... I have imported direct from China at least 3 dozen times from about 10 suppliers in that time, mostly (if not all) via Alibaba. I have been pretty happy with the service and quality of goods, overall -...

    Is Every Single UK Import Agent Run By Crooks?

    Sorry, but the analogy is as inappropriate as it is silly. There only 3 ways to pay HMRC for import fees and I simply think it rather underhand to not cover them all especially when they know they are dealing with an inexperienced importer/customer.

    Is Every Single UK Import Agent Run By Crooks?

    With respect this is not correct. You can use your agent's deferment account (and pay for the privilege), pay HMRC directly when the invoice is raised by the agent (which causes delay for all involved) or pay HMRC either immediately or regularly/collectively via a CDS account.
