Import Customs Entries From The EU

We have noticed that HMRC ( UK Customs) is becoming ever more strict regarding import customs entries from the EU and the rest of the world. This is especially important for customs entries from the EU, as importers often do not have a history of customs compliance from EU member states as EU customs border entries only became mandatory through 2021.

We offer a customs clearance (customs brokerage) service at UK ports and airports. We also offer specialised assistance with customs HS code classification for our customers as well as specific and up-to-date information regarding compliance and current regulations. K&L prides itself on ensuring a smooth customs process, adhering to legal requirements.

Stricter HMRC Customs Rules: How to Stay Compliant

HMRC is tightening controls on import customs entries from both the EU and the rest of the world. Importers must now ensure full compliance with customs regulations to avoid delays and penalties.

Why EU Imports Face Greater Scrutiny

Before 2021, UK businesses could import goods from the EU without customs declarations. Since Brexit, customs border entries for EU shipments have become mandatory. Many importers lack experience in handling these procedures, making compliance more challenging. HMRC now enforces stricter checks, requiring businesses to ensure accurate documentation and correct HS code classification.
