Customs
CLEARING YOUR CARGO
Osprey’s Port Services team has all the experience you need, to handle all aspects of UK customs on your behalf – making sure your cargo moves through customs smoothly.
Avoid expensive delays and unnecessary inspections
Hold-ups, delays and unexpected inspections can be expensive – particularly if an item or a shipment is mission-critical – and they can also affect your reputation. That’s why it pays dividends to use a port agent who understands the systems, procedures, documents and processes involved.

Stress-free customs clearance
Document tracking is essential for manufacturers. It’s one of the biggest problems – misplacing an original Bill of Lading or Commercial Invoice, not having the specific documents needed for a specialist cargo, or even not providing something simple such as VAT paperwork.
- We know which documents you need, who will handle them and which systems to use, and how to make the entire customs process go smoothly.
- Our Port Services Team will guide you and your specialist cargo through the clearance process, and make sure each shipment conforms to the right Customs or Statutory Bodies’ requirements.
