UK import essentials for businesses
To import commercially into the UK you need a GB EORI number, correct commodity codes, and a declared customs value that matches your commercial invoice. Import VAT can often be handled through postponed VAT accounting on your VAT return rather than paid at the border.
We check these before your first shipment so nothing is held at the port. Note we can advise on process, but you remain responsible for the accuracy of the declared values and codes TO CONFIRM: whether Tanish acts as direct or indirect representative.
Built for
- UAE exporters and traders supplying UK buyers
