Customs Clearance Services

Dedicated support with UK customs clearance. The value of UK total trade is £1,419.3 billion per year. Customs declarations are a mandatory requirement to move goods across the borders, but the complexities of areas such as tariff classification, customs valuation, claiming preference, and Incoterms can be challenging for traders.

Alinea Customs provide full support across all areas of UK border compliance and administration. Our clients benefit from competitive rates, efficient clearance and access to qualified legal expertise to assist in navigating the complexities of global supply chains, and in accessing the benefits of international trade deals, and international trade policies.

IMPORT CLEARANCE

Alinea Customs provide administration of import clearance at ports across the UK, and provide the documents required to maintain a full audit trail for HMRC, which we advise to retain for 4 years.

Trade clients are allocated an account manager and benefit from a direct line, competitive rates, and a fast turnaround on customs clearance from our professionally trained staff.
