UK–EU customs

Customs paperwork, prepared in-house every week

Customs clearance is an integral part of UK to EU road freight. Delphic coordinates the documentation alongside transport planning on our European services.

Since Brexit, every consignment between the UK and the EU needs customs formalities: export declarations on the way out, import declarations at the other end, and the right supporting documents travelling with the truck. Accurate, complete documentation helps avoid unnecessary border delays.

Our traffic office in Winsford, Cheshire prepares and checks documentation, coordinates with customs agents where needed, and confirms what information we need from you before collection. Problems get found before the truck loads, not at the port.

What we deal with routinely

Export and import declarations for UK to EU road freight
T1 transit documents raised in-house, for collection at inland border facilities such as Sevington or Stop 24
Commercial invoices, packing lists, commodity codes and EORI details
Incoterms agreed up front, so everyone knows who is responsible for what
ADR documentation where hazardous goods are involved

T1 transit documents are raised in-house. Our office arranges the documentation for collection at inland border facilities such as Sevington or Stop 24 and coordinates this with the transport plan.

Customs work goes hand in hand with the freight itself. See our full range of services, European haulage for our scheduled continental services, groupage to Italy if you are sending less than a full trailer, and ADR haulage where dangerous goods documentation is involved.

FAQs

Customs clearance: common questions

What paperwork do you need from me?

Typically a commercial invoice and packing list, your EORI number, commodity codes and the incoterms agreed with your customer. We'll tell you exactly what's missing before the truck loads.

Do I need an EORI number?

Yes. Businesses moving goods between the UK and the EU need a GB EORI number, and an EU EORI if you act as importer there.

What is a T1, and can you raise one?

A T1 is a transit document that lets goods move through customs territory with duty suspended until they reach their destination. We raise T1s in-house, for collection at inland border facilities such as Sevington or Stop 24.

Has Brexit made European haulage harder?

Brexit introduced additional customs procedures for UK–EU trade. Our traffic office handles these routinely and coordinates the paperwork with each movement.

Can you help with temporary exports or exhibition goods?

Ask us. Samples, exhibition goods and equipment going out and coming back have their own procedures and we can advise on what your movement needs.
