Who can claim the 3 free clearances?

Businesses that haven't used C-F&C for customs clearance before. One offer per business.

What counts as a clearance?

One standard import declaration lodged by us on CDS. Our entry fee is free; duty and import VAT are still due to HMRC, or postponed to your VAT return if you're eligible.

How does the 24-hour promise work?

From your 4th entry, if your goods aren't cleared within 24 hours of us receiving complete and correct documents, we refund our entry fee. It doesn't cover delays caused by HMRC document checks or physical examinations.

What does it cost after the offer?

It depends on the number of commodity lines and how complex the goods are. Send us the details and we'll quote. Regular importers get a fixed rate agreed in advance.

Do I need an EORI number?

Yes, any business importing into Great Britain needs a GB EORI number. If you don't have one yet, we'll walk you through applying on GOV.UK before your goods arrive.
