COMPLETE EXPORT DECLARATION SUPPORT

Instant Clearances checks your shipment details, prepares the CDS export declaration and helps coordinate the references needed by your haulier, freight forwarder or port.
We focus on getting the declaration right before departure, reducing avoidable queries and helping your shipment leave on schedule.
Direct support from real people.
WHAT WE HANDLE
We prepare the customs information needed before goods leave the UK and coordinate the references that keep the export movement connected from declaration to departure.
We prepare and submit full UK export customs declarations through HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service using the commercial and transport information you provide.
We prepare the declaration before the goods are presented at the border, helping your driver, carrier or shipping line avoid preventable delays.
We provide the relevant declaration references and help ensure the DUCR, movement details and port information are shared with the right parties.
Where goods require licences, certificates or additional procedure information, we identify the documentation needed for the export entry.
