Overcoming Shipping Challenges

In the Post-Brexit Era

Brexit causes longer times for customs clearance and the overall shipping process. It also affects an increase in import duties and VAT. These factors make trading in the UK more challenging, especially if you want to sell high-tech software and hardware equipment in the region.

GetWay Global shortens the waiting time by preparing import permits and customs documentation in advance. Checking import tariffs is also our responsibility; we offer additional support to make the shipping process smoother for you.

GG uses every opportunity to speed the transportation and lower its costs. Get in touch with us to step into the British IT and Telecom markets prepared.

Customs Declarations Paperwork

Done by Experts

After Brexit, the number of declarations for importing goods to the UK has increased. Clearing the goods became more complex, and even the British government recommends hiring intermediaries to ease the process.

GG is ready to help with declarations’ paperwork. If necessary, we fill and submit documents on your behalf. Our experience includes processing of:

Did You Know?

During Customs Freight Simplified Procedures in Great Britain, an IOR may submit a simplified customs declaration at the border and ask for deferred duty payments. But an importer must have an office in the UK for CFSP.

Acting as your representative in Great Britain, GG GetWay Global provides you access to  CFSP, even if you do not have a legal entity in the country.

Moreover, GG helps you with documents for faster customs clearance like:

GG rids you of tax payment concerns. In particular, we help importers cover two general taxes in Great Britain:

  • VAT — applies to any shipment unless a parcel is sent from outside the UK to Great Britain or outside the UK/EU to Northern Ireland;
  • Customs duty — applies to all shipments from outside the UK if they are excise goods or worth more than £135.

GG helps not only with fee processing and payment deadlines. We also make sure you pay only the required amount of tax and customs fees. In other cases, where applicable, we fill out the required forms for the tax refund claims.

Warehousing & Storage in the UK

Imported goods do not always go straight to their end-users after entering Great Britain. When importers need a place to store shipments, we offer spacious, well-heated, and ventilated facilities.

GG finds a warehouse of the necessary size and for different needs at any point in the UK. Be sure that your products are safe and protected against poor weather conditions and theft risks.

Our storage facilities are available across Great Britain, including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast, and other cities.

If Telecom and IT software belong to dual-use equipment in the UK, sufficient export and import licenses are required for the customs clearance process. During the export process, the sender must obtain an Open general export license. GetWay-Global helps getting several OGELs depending on the types of exported goods:

  • OGEL for cryptographic devices;
  • OGEL for exporting dual-use items to EU member states;
  • OGEL for information security items;
  • OGEL for technology for dual-use items (blueprints, specifications, manuals, etc.)

Besides, we support in procurement of additional export permits, for example:

  • EC mark;
  • MOD Form 680;
  • Retained general export authorization 005 — for telecommunications
