The customs side of transport in one place
Since the UK left the EU, every consignment crossing the border needs customs declarations and safety and security data. A single missing reference – an MRN, ENS or GMR – can hold a lorry at the port for hours.
We prepare and submit declarations in HMRC systems – CDS, NCTS, GVMS and ICS2 – for importers, exporters, hauliers and freight forwarders. We check documents before dispatch, choose the right procedure and commodity codes, and the driver gets a full set of references before arriving at the port.
We work in English and Polish, on one-off clearances and ongoing contracts alike. We don't arrange transport – we handle the customs side so your haulier can keep moving without delays.
Everything your goods need at the border
Use us for a single service or for the whole customs side of your transport.

Questions and answers
Business questions
Can’t find your question? Call or email us – you’ll find our contact details below. We’ll answer in English or Polish.
Does my business need an EORI number?
Yes. A business importing or exporting goods to and from the UK needs an EORI number starting with GB. For trade with the EU you also need an EORI number issued in an EU country.
Why does the customs agent need an authorisation?
The authorisation lets us submit declarations on behalf of your business in HMRC systems. With an ongoing partnership you only sign it once.
Who creates the GMR – the haulier or the agent?
A GMR can be created by the haulier or by an agent on their behalf. We do it together with the declarations, so the MRN and ENS references are linked correctly from the start.
Do you handle groupage?
Yes. When several consignments travel on one vehicle, we prepare declarations for each of them and combine them into a single GMR for the driver.
Can you help with HS codes?
Yes. The HS (commodity) code determines the duty rate and any licences required – we help you choose it before the goods set off.
How much does a clearance cost?
The price depends on the type of declaration, the number of lines on the invoice and how often you ship. Send us an enquiry – we'll reply with a quote and a list of documents.
