Our Polish branch and extensive partner network across the EU allow us to arrange export entries 7 days a week. Our export agent team supports all types of shipments – including those requiring a Goods Movement Reference (GMR) generated via the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) for road freight at UK ports.
We can assist with export customs clearance for commercial goods, used vehicles, and personal effects, including home removals. Our specialists help classify goods correctly and select the appropriate HS code. Thanks to our local expertise, all customs processes are handled efficiently, even for destinations requiring special attention – such as Northern Ireland – where compliance with specific export regulations is essential.

These professionals are specialists in export declarations, customs documentation, and export compliance. By leveraging their deep knowledge of UK customs regulations and international trade requirements, our export brokers help companies avoid costly delays and penalties.
Customs agents manage the entire export procedure – from classifying goods under the correct commodity code to preparing and submitting export declarations and supporting documents like commercial invoices and packing lists. They also guide clients on export controls, export licences, and additional certificates required for specific goods, such as food, plant products, or live animals. Their expertise ensures that your goods move through customs efficiently, reducing risks and keeping your supply chain running smoothly.
In addition to document handling, our agents provide strategic advice to optimize export clearance, helping businesses minimize costs and improve logistics efficiency.

Export clearance usually takes anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the type of goods, the quality of the documentation, and the workload of customs systems. When all documents are correct and submitted electronically, export clearance is often completed the same day. Delays occur mainly when information is missing or when shipments require additional checks.

Export clearance is the required customs procedure that authorises goods to leave a country. It involves submitting export documentation, declaring the shipment to customs, and receiving approval before the goods can be transported internationally. Once export clearance is granted, the shipment can legally exit the country.
