When to create a customs declaration?

When shipping goods outside the UK, it is essential to prepare a customs declaration also known as an export declaration or EX-A before your shipment departs. This document provides the necessary information for Customs authorities to assess and approve the export of goods from the United Kingdom.

To streamline this process, you can conveniently complete the declaration digitally through our webshop. Our user-friendly platform guides you through each step of the application, ensuring that all required details are accurately entered. This includes information about the type of goods, their value, destination, and transport method.

Once the application has been submitted online, it is immediately transmitted to Customs for assessment. Typically, you will receive a response from us within just a few minutes, informing you whether your declaration has been accepted or if further action is required.

If the declaration is approved, your shipment is cleared to proceed to the designated office of exit or border office. This is the final point within the UK from which the goods will officially leave the customs territory. Completing this process correctly and promptly ensures that your export complies with regulations and avoids unnecessary delays at the border.
