Why not take the hassle out of getting your consignments through customs with Links Courier?
Customs clearance services
We have an in-house customs clearance agent that can act on your behalf to ensure that your goods clear customs quickly and easily. We can handle customs clearance on both imports and exports at all UK airports and seaports, including:
- Heathrow
- Gatwick
- Manchester
- Birmingham
- Felixstowe
- Southampton
- Tilbury
- Luton
- East Midlands
Our custom clearance agent has a direct connection to the H.M. Customs & Excise electronic system, which is known as CHIEF, and they use it to provide customs information. Most declarations are submitted to HMRC in this way. CHIEF records declarations for consignments transported by land, air and sea and calculates duties and taxes.
Our agent also has a substantial HMRC duty deferment bond account to ensure import duty, excise duty and VAT can be paid without any problems. In addition, they have a Customs Bonded Warehouse – Enhanced Transit Shed Facility (E.T.S.F.), which is used to temporarily store goods that are awaiting clearance from HMRC.
Our Customs Documentation Services
Navigating customs paperwork can be challenging. Our expert team simplifies the process by managing all necessary documentation on your behalf. We specialize in a wide range of customs procedures and documents, including:
Standard Import & Export Declarations: Ensuring your goods are declared correctly and efficiently.
T1 Transit Documents: Allowing goods to move through the UK under customs control without paying import duties until they reach their final destination.
ATA Carnet Clearance: Facilitating the temporary import and export of goods for exhibitions, trade shows, or professional equipment.

Apply for an EORI number
Please note that you will need an Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number if you want to transport goods between the UK and non-EU countries. Not having an
EORI could result in delays and increased costs so it’s important that you apply for one in a timely manner.
The EORI application form you fill in depends on whether you’re:
- registered for VAT (if you did not get one when registering for VAT online)
- not VAT-registered and you’re exporting
- not VAT-registered and you’re importing
