SGS Moves from Strength to Strength with Our Customs Services

August 21, 2023

Our clients benefit from working with a customs solution provider with operations on the ground across multiple European countries and with capacity to expand.

With our unique offering, we can help exporters of all sizes achieve customs declarations compliance and ensure their businesses don’t fall foul of UK customs requirements. Our range of innovative software is designed to simplify international trade by creating electronic documents and making submissions to online services so that our clients can comply with international regulations.

Customs declarations are used by authorities globally to administer duty collection and control and, in the case of exporting goods, provide the required proof to allow shipments to be sent exempt from value added tax (VAT). Trade with the rest of the world already sees UK firms making over 50 million customs declarations in a year – the vast majority of which are completed by freight forwarding companies and brokers.

We are in an excellent position to ensure business continuity and help companies achieve full customs compliance. Combined with our existing compliance, conformity and consultancy-based services, our intuitive software puts us in a unique position to help organizations of all sizes, in a multitude of vertical sectors, dealing with exporting goods.

Not only can we ensure all customs declaration documentation is accurate, we can also assist with logistics and transit to countries outside the European Union by issuing conformity certificates that are used for customs clearance when goods reach specific destinations.
