Since the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union and its departure from the EU's single market, the requirements for customs clearance have increased massively. Already with the Brexit, Hellmann UK has significantly increased its customs activities and expanded the team. With the introduction of Customs Brokerage as a regular product, Hellmann is now going one step further and offering customers a flexible and reliable service for imports and exports. For other European countries, Hellmann has already been offering this special service in land transport for a long time.

With more than 65 customs experts at the Hellmann locations in Dover, Lichfield and Glasgow, Hellmann can keep its promise. The friendly and experienced specialists provide expert advice on all customs and VAT-related issues and ensure that compliance with all regulations has top priority.

Customs Brokerage is primarily of interest to shippers whose shipments Hellmann also physically moves, but Hellmann also offers the new service as a 4PL service provider for customers whose shipments are driven by another forwarder.

"By establishing Customs Brokerage as a stand-alone product, we can ensure the desired flexibility for our customers in their choice of forwarder. At the same time, with the combination of transport service and customs brokerage, we are fomenting an unbeatable overall package that is currently hard to beat in terms of efficiency and reliability," says Lee Costello, Product Manager, Hellmann UK.

In air and ocean freight, in particular, Customs Brokerage has long been a standard service and is considered an important pillar of our service portfolio, especially in North America. Licensed customs brokers and entry writers are available worldwide to ensure that your shipments are cleared for import and export without stress in the maze of international trade regulations.
