Effortlessly navigate sanitary and phytosanitary requirements with clearBorder: your independent partner in SPS control compliance.
Global food safety and plant health standards exist to protect people and ecosystems, as well as your business integrity. A single failed inspection or missing Export Health Certificate (EHC) can mean blocked shipments, costly recalls, fines, or reputational damage. In a landscape of evolving WTO, EU and UK SPS rules, proactive compliance is your safeguard – and competitive edge.
Our SPS control experts guide you from certificate acquisition, through border control posts, to final clearance – so your operation never misses a beat.
We determine what’s needed for a smooth shipment, including any certificates or licences, such as Export Health Certificates, Phytosanitary Certificates, or quota applications.
We work closely with clients to ensure all documents are accurately prepared, properly approved, and submitted to the relevant authorities – such as Customs, Port Health, and Border Control Posts – at the right time.
We embed SPS compliance into your border target operating model, aligning with customs requirements, excise‑goods workflows, and your ERP/TMS to create a unified, audit‑ready system.

We provide assurance on the movement of SPS products through deep expertise, in-depth regulatory knowledge, and strong networks across the border landscape – helping businesses navigate complex requirements with confidence and clarity.
