Why Cargo Customs Clearance Matters

Every commercial shipment entering or leaving the UK must be declared to HMRC. The declaration sets out what the goods are, their value, their commodity code and where they are going or coming from. If any detail is wrong, cargo can be held, delivery dates can slip and penalties can follow. Our team at Cargo Northeast Ltd. prepares accurate declarations so your freight keeps moving.

Our Customs Clearance Services at Edinburgh Airport

  • Import/export declarations: We prepare and submit your import/export declarations through the Customs Declaration Service (CDS), the HMRC system used for UK customs declarations.
  • EORI numbers: A valid GB EORI number is generally needed to make customs declarations. We can advise on registration and check your details before you ship.
  • Commodity classification: We help assign the correct commodity codes, which affect duty rates, licensing and declaration accuracy.
  • Duty & VAT guidance: We explain how duty & VAT apply to your goods, including import VAT, and what records you need to keep.
  • Licences and restricted goods: We flag goods that need a licence or additional checks before they arrive at the airport.
  • Carrier and handler coordination: We work with airlines and cargo handlers so your documents and goods are ready together.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is cargo customs clearance at Edinburgh Airport?

It is the process of declaring your goods to HMRC so they can legally enter or leave the UK. It includes preparing the declaration, confirming commodity codes, calculating duty & VAT where it applies and making sure your paperwork matches the shipment.

  1. Do I need an EORI number for import or export clearance?

In most cases, yes. A GB EORI number is generally required to make customs declarations to HMRC. If you don’t have one, Cargo Northeast Ltd. can guide you through registering before your first shipment.

  1. What is CDS and how does it affect my shipment?

CDS is the Customs Declaration Service, HMRC’s system for submitting customs declarations. Import/export declarations are made through CDS, so a broker with CDS access can submit them on your behalf.

  1. How are duty & VAT handled on imports and exports?

Imports may be subject to duty & VAT depending on the goods, their origin and their value. UK exports are generally zero-rated for VAT if you hold valid proof of export, though duty may apply in the destination country. We explain what applies to your goods and what to keep on file.
