Customs Clearance Port of Tyne

When Paperwork Becomes the Bottleneck

Any commercial consignment crossing the UK border must be reported to HMRC. The report describes the contents, their value, how they are classified and where they originated or are headed. A mistyped code, a missing invoice or a mismatched figure can leave a container stuck, run up storage fees and attract penalties. Our team reviews every detail before submission, so issues are resolved while there is still time to fix them cheaply.

What We Handle for You

• Import/export declarations: We lodge your import/export declarations on the Customs Declaration Service (CDS), the HMRC platform that processes UK customs entries.
• EORI numbers: Most traders need a GB EORI number to move goods across the border. If you are unregistered, we explain the steps and check your details in advance.
• Tariff classification: The correct commodity code determines the rate of duty, any licensing needs and whether your entry is accepted first time.
• Duty & VAT support: We calculate what is payable on inbound loads and make sure exporters hold the proof needed to treat sales as zero-rated for VAT.
• Permits and controlled items: Products that need a licence or extra scrutiny are identified early, long before they reach the quay.
• Carrier and terminal liaison: We keep shipping lines, hauliers and terminal staff in step so collection runs smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does customs clearance at the Port of Tyne involve?

It is the process of reporting your shipment to HMRC so it can lawfully enter or leave the UK. The work covers preparing the entry, confirming tariff codes, calculating any duty & VAT and checking that your documents match what is physically in the container.

2. Do I need an EORI number to import or export through the Tyne?

In most cases, yes. A GB EORI number is normally required before customs entries can be submitted to HMRC. If you don’t hold one, Cargo Northeast Ltd. can guide you through registration before your first shipment.

3. What is CDS and why does it matter?

CDS, the Customs Declaration Service, is the HMRC system where customs entries are filed. A Newcastle customs broker with CDS access can submit your import/export declarations for you, so you don’t need to learn the platform yourself.

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

Inbound shipments may attract duty & VAT depending on what they are, where they were made and what they cost. Exports are generally zero-rated for VAT when you keep valid proof of export, though the destination country may charge its own duty. We explain what applies to your products and which records to keep.

5. Can you arrange sea freight and storage as well as clearance?

Yes. Alongside clearance, we can coordinate sea freight Newcastle upon Tyne and storage near Port of Tyne, so one team looks after your paperwork, bookings and stock.
