Customs Clearance Harwich
Harwich International Port is a major UK ferry and freight gateway on the east coast of England, linking the UK to Northern Europe — especially the Harwich–Hook of Holland route. With deep‑water facilities and strong road/rail links, the port handles Ro‑Ro, containers, bulk cargo, and multimodal logistics, making efficient customs clearance essential for avoiding delays.
At Global Customs Clearance, we manage accurate, compliant and fast customs‑clearance services for all Harwich‑bound imports and exports.
Why Customs Clearance Matters at Harwich
Harwich processes significant volumes of Ro‑Ro traffic, trailers, containers, dry bulk, and general freight, requiring strict compliance with HMRC controls. All goods arriving from or departing to third countries must pass through full UK customs procedures, including documentation verification, duty assessment and physical checks where required.
Incorrect documentation, missing HS codes, or valuation errors can cause cargo holds, missed ferry cut‑offs, or costly delays — particularly in Harwich’s high‑frequency European ferry environment.
