We’ve expanded our customs clearance capability by securing a Port Badge for London Heathrow Airport, completing our access to almost every major UK port. This latest addition enables us to provide a faster, more seamless service for air freight and strengthens our nationwide offering across both sea and air entry points.
For many years, we’ve held Port Badges for virtually all UK seaports. Heathrow fills the final gap, giving us a uniquely comprehensive footprint and allowing us to deliver efficient import clearance services wherever your goods arrive.
What this means for you
With direct access to Heathrow and ports across the UK, we can now offer:
- Full UK-wide import clearance coverage for air and sea
- Greater flexibility and faster processing for your shipments
- Reduced delays with direct on-site access at key locations
- Seamless service integration with our global customs network
Whether you’re importing via road, air or sea, we help you meet customs requirements quickly, reliably and compliantly.
