Customs Clearance Agent
What is a customs clearance agent?
As a customs clearance consultant, we work with you to ensure your customs clearance declarations are correct and fully customs-compliant. This involves working with a customs clearance agent, sometimes called a customs broker, to make sure that they have been given clear and accurate information to clear your goods through customs.
The customs clearance agent will work closely with your company to ensure that the correct documentation is presented to customs, the customs declaration is submitted, and the correct duties and taxes are paid based on the information provided.
Is a customs clearance agent required?
HM Revenue and Customs in the UK state that getting goods customs clearance is complicated, and the importer can employ a customs clearance agent to make the import customs clearance declarations and get their goods through UK customs.
As a customs clearance consultant, I can make arrangements to check the accuracy of customs clearance declarations made on their behalf.

HM Revenue and Customs also state that the UK Importer of Record must make arrangements to check the accuracy of customs clearance declarations made on their behalf.
