Customs declarations in the UK

A customs declaration is a crucial aspect of international trade, providing detailed information about goods being transported across borders. Accurate and timely declarations help customs authorities assess duties and taxes, ensure compliance, and prevent illegal activities.

What is a customs declaration?

A customs declaration is an official document that lists and describes the products being imported or exported. It is the act by which a person expresses their desire to place items under a specific customs procedure.

Who should lodge a customs declaration?

Typically, a product’s owner or their representative lodges a customs declaration. The product owner could be an individual, a business, or (in some circumstances) a group of people.

What can happen if you fail to declare correctly?

• Your business could be fined: fines can be significant and may relate to the value of undeclared goods.
• Your goods could be seized: recovering seized goods can be time-consuming and expensive, and contraband may be confiscated.
• You could lose your business licence: non-compliance can jeopardise your ability to operate.
