International Forwarding (IFL) is a customs clearance agent and Customs-accredited Authorised Economic Operator (AEO). We offer a complete range of inbound UK clearance services from our Birmingham and Dover Port offices, and port clearance services run 24/7. Our direct CHIEF/CDS link to HMRC usually results in a speedy clearance while Customs VAT/duty can be advanced on your behalf via our deferment account.
Customs clearance quotes
Please note: At present International Forwarding (IFL) is ONLY able to act as a customs broker if goods are under our direct control. We can only facilitate clearances on consignments that are moving on our services and not with third-party carriers.
So, if you are a UK company and wish us to move your freight either to or from the EU, we would be happy to quote for the same service, including customs documentation.
