Customs Clearance Imports to Teesport
The deep-sea bulk terminal facility at Redcar Ore Terminal, part of the Teesport operation, accounts for many imports in any given year but general importers will often see their goods arriving in the UK via one of the two Teesport container terminals at the port. These handle approximately half a million containers every year. Furthermore, Teesport has several roll-on, roll-off ferry services which road hauliers will often use to connect the Northeast region with continental Europe. Ferries arriving at Teesport will have crossed the North Sea to complete journeys that began in either Zeebrugge or Rotterdam.
Consequently, customs clearance services for imports via Teesport are crucial for British importers. This is the case for container vessels that may have entered the UK from China and other big economies in Asia. It is also now the case that customs clearances in Teesport are required for ferries and container ships that have come from European ports. HMRC is obliged to make similar checks on imports from the European Union these days since the UK left the EU’s single market. Although it is technically possible for importers to complete their own customs clearance work, it is often more advisable to turn to the expertise on offer from Barrington Freight instead.
