Types of Customs Clearance

Types of Customs Clearance:

Irish Traders;
We can act as a Direct Representative for Irish registered Companies for the purposes of customs clearance.

Non-Irish Traders;
We can act as an Importer of Record (IOR), where we manage the customs clearance for importing shipments for those companies who don’t have any presence or business connections in the ROI or the EU including the UK.

Bulk Customs Clearance;
We can manage bulk customs clearance both in Ireland and in the UK for consignments containing a large number of small parcels or packages usually with a value of less than €22/£15 respectively which aren’t subject to Customs or VAT.

There are many financial options to consider for Customs, including:

  • Comprehensive Guarantees, which you’ll need to register for Temporary Storage in the case of inward processing, we can advise on the application process with either the Commercial Banks or the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI)
  • Deferred payments, you can defer payment of custom duties using a deferred account, we can advise on how to register for one with the Irish Revenue service and the HMRC, you will need your comprehensive guarantee authorisation number before you can apply for a deferred payment authorisation in Ireland
  • Postponed Accounting for VAT, under recent legislation introduced, companies can use postponed VAT accounting on imports (PIVA) resulting in significant cash flow benefits for your company. We will advise you on whether this would be suitable option for your business.

IT Services

Real-time Customs Clearance

We use the most up to date technology on the market that allows our team to make electronic declarations in an automated and seamless fashion.

Our systems are designed to provide real time tracking, such as channel look-up for drivers to see when they can board, usually issued 30 minutes before. We can also check when the ship is arriving. We can also update our clients when their documents have been processed by the relevant authorities such as the HMRC.

We have a highly skilled team of customs administrators who are all fully qualified Accountants that have gone through a rigorous training process such as the Clear Customs program conducted by CILT (Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport) .

We have robust procedures in place to ensure the data is entered correctly on the system and has been correctly classified so as to prevent the trader paying the incorrect amount of customs duty as well as VAT.

We are very competitive on fees compared to other service providers in the market, who have higher level of overheads which they need to cover by charging there customers a higher price than us.
