Experience is Key to Customs Clearance

When it comes to dealing with customs requirements there is no substitute for experience in ensuring your consignment movements are transported without unforeseen issues.

Since the UK’s departure from the EU, customs requirements have grown exponentially for meat, dairy, foodservices, fresh fruit and vegetable, horticultural and fresh cut flowers sectors.

New customs procedures can at first seem daunting.  In reality, once understood, a lot of the new procedures can be straightforward.  However, while straightforward, customs clearance procedures can present challenges for those unfamiliar with the processes, particularly in the unique time-sensitive and time-pressure world of moving fresh food produce and food logistics.

 

Few logistics operations are as demanding as food logistics

Few logistics operations are as demanding as food logistics.  Shelf life and freshness are key and the clock is always ticking.

As specialists in temperature controlled logistics, we understand that temperature-sensitive consignments of perishable goods need to be handled carefully and transported efficiently to preserve freshness and integrity.  To ensure the quality of service, we operate using our fully owned fleet and facilities offering a closed-loop service to customers.

We have taken the same approach when it comes to customs clearance.  The HANNON Group has invested heavily in developing recruiting and training our own in-house customs teams to maintain the resilience of our services to ensure the supply chains of our customers continue to run smoothly.

 

Customs Clearance adds Increased Complexity to Food Logistics

New customs procedures following the UK’s departure from the EU are now an integral part of food logistics if you are moving goods to or from GB or from EU mainland through GB using the UK landbridge and the transit procedure.

Fresh food produce customs clearance involves an extra layer of complexity over and above, say, dry freight.  Fresh food produce is typically either Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) or Products of Animal Origin (POAO) which require detailed documentation over and above simple Import Safety and Security Declaration (ENS), Pre-Boarding Notification (PBN), etc.

 

Familiarity is Key to Successful Customs Clearance

Understanding the procedures is one thing – completing the procedures accurately and efficiently under the time pressures involved in fresh produce and food logistics is a different ball-game.

Our experienced in-house Customs Administration Team deals with thousands of customs consignments and submissions every week.  Our  customs teams are specialists in ensuring fresh food consignments successfully navigate any customs requirements and move in and out of Ireland without a hitch.
