Customs Clearance Imports to Tilbury, London
It handles bulk cargoes of many types but is particularly associated with the importation of paper and paper-based products. The port was containerised as far back as 1967 and a deep water riverside berth was opened up in the 1970s so that Tilbury could accommodate larger container-laden vessels. Today, there are no fewer than 56 operational berths at the port and over 30 working terminals. As such, 16 million tonnes of goods pass through it in a typical operating year, making the Port of Tilbury a significant one for UK-based importers everywhere, not just those in the capital.
As an Essex-based customs clearance agency, we are ideally positioned to help British importers to get their goods through the Port of Tilbury as quickly as possible. All too often, firms that attempt to make their own customs clearance declarations will make errors that can cause delays to goods passing through the port. Even very minor mistakes can lead to problems with UK customs officials, so it is crucial that British importation firms have a customs clearance agent working for them who can get all of the paperwork in good order even before their consignments arrive in Tilbury. This is exactly the sort of service that the operations team at Barrington Freight provides.
