We streamline the complexities of trade by providing comprehensive solutions under one roof. That’s reflected in our partnerships with international Chambers of Commerce, industry trade associations, AI and professional services firms, among others.

Customs Compliance for Your Business

Customs regulations cover every facet of the import and export process in the UK. HMRC sets rules that traders must follow, encompassing goods classification, controlled exports, duty payments, VAT, safety and security declarations, and more.

A breach in customs compliance can lead to financial penalties, trade activity suspension, or criminal charges.

clearBorder, as a seasoned customs compliance consultant, ensures your trade is both compliant and efficient. We review your processes, provide comprehensive training for your teams, and offer personal support when needed.

Export Control Compliance Services

Export controls apply to the trade of sensitive technologies and, regulated by the Department for Business and Trade in the UK, can lead to severe penalties, operational suspension, or even imprisonment if they are breached.

We offer expert advice to assist you throughout the export control process, from preparation to compliance maintenance. Our support ensures that your exports adhere to the conditions specified in the relevant licence, addressing elements such as sanctioned entities and the ‘end-use’ of technology.

Expert SPS Control Compliance

Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) controls are international standards safeguarding the health of animals, plants, and consumers. Importers of SPS-controlled products must meet specific requirements, including additional certificates and border checks.

clearBorder’s specialist consultancy services are designed to help importers navigate SPS controls efficiently, ensuring compliance with international rules. Whether it’s:

  • Food,
  • Plants,
  • Livestock,
  • Products of animal origin, or
  • Products derived from plants,

our expertise prepares importers for the checks and inspections required at the border.
