Cross Trade

For some British companies, international trade will often involve forwarding between countries other than the United Kingdom. This is usually referred to as ‘cross trade’. Thanks to a global network of agencies and experienced contractors, we’re able to arrange your cross trade movements with the same efficiency as that applied to UK movements. Our aim is to take away the headaches by arranging all your requirements from door to door whilst ensuring you are fully informed and in control of your shipments at all times.

Customs Brokerage

Imports

With so many regulations, trade policies and procedures to comply with, importing goods into the UK can be rather complicated. But with Kentco’s support clearing customs is quick and easy. As well as having many years of experience providing customs brokerage services, we have access to the very latest online services that facilitate instant, paperless customs clearance. 

Exports

Kentco Logistics can provide New Export System (NES) clearances at all UK ports for exporters, consolidators, shipping lines and other forwarders. These can be produced in several different formats according to individual requirements.  

More information on our import/export customs brokerage services can be found on our website. 

Storage

Storage facilities throughout the UK enable Kentco to offer a huge amount of dry and secure warehousing space at a highly competitive rate. We can offer long and short-term flexible contracts and can also include storage as part of a larger freight forwarding service package. Find out more by visiting Kentco Logistics online.

Warehousing

Kentco Logistics can offer several specialist warehousing services, including:

Bonded Warehousing – This is where goods upon which duties are unpaid are stored under bond and in the joint custody of the importer (or an agent) and the HM Customs officers. Stock that is in bonded warehouses avoids advance Duty Payment on goods that have yet to be sold and are likely to reside in stock for months.

Freeport Warehousing – This is where goods can be delivered into a freeport from any UK port or airport without being customs cleared (provided they are issued with a trans-shipment bond and a Freeport Status Document is produced for HM Customs upon arrival at the freeport). Payments of duties and taxes can thus be deferred until such time as the goods come into free circulation.
