Customs

Your Customs Partner

In recent years, customs has become an increasingly complex element of the movement of goods to and from Europe. Immediately following Brexit, many importers and exporters found their shipments were delayed, sometimes for weeks at a time. Here at Peters & May, our thorough pre-Brexit planning enabled our clients to avoid many of these issues. By ensuring our staff were fully trained and prepared for the upcoming changes and providing our clients with guidance concerning new processes and revised documentation requirements, delays were rarely suffered and our ever-increasing client base continues to benefit from our helpful and proactive approach to customs-related issues.

We have a dedicated customs team processing import and export declarations in the UK, who can also arrange your clearances in Europe and beyond. In addition, we are able to issue T1 Transit documents, provide consultation on complex customs matters and assist with authorisation applications for IP, OP, End Use, Customs Warehousing etc.
