As of 1 January 2021, any UK business involved with importing or exporting goods to and from the European Union must declare their shipments to HMRC. This is done in a form of a customs declaration. Our Customs Declaration team has a wealth of experience in a wide range of sectors covering the three main transport modes (sea, air and road), and are ready to assist your business.
An Arab Certificate of Origin is issued for goods that are being sold and permanently exported to Arab League countries. In addition to these certificates, LCCI can process any other commercial document required for international trade, either alongside the Certificate of Origin or as a separate document.
The ATA Carnet is an international customs document that permits duty-free and tax-free temporary import of goods for up to one year. We have an experienced team of experts on hand to support you through the process of applying for and purchasing an ATA Carnet.
LCCI can assist businesses having commercial documents legalised by the legalisation office (Foreign and Commonwealth office). We also offer Special Certificates, a type of document that includes Trading Status Certificate, Force Majeure Certificate and International Import Certificates.
A UK Certificate of Origin is issued for goods that are being sold and permanently exported to non-Arab countries as well as Egypt and Iran. LCCI can also process any other commercial document required for international trade, either alongside your Certificate of Origin or as a separate document.
An EUR1 Movement Certificate is used to support claims for preferential (usually zero) rates of duty in the country of importation. To qualify the goods must 'originate' in the UK and be supported by a correctly completed and endorsed EUR1.
