|
- Bill of lading (original) for sea freight shipments or copy of Airwaybill for air freight shipments
- Commercial invoice(s)

For certain types of imported commodities import licences (e.g. some textile products), health certificates (e.g. some foodstuffs), phytosanitary certificates (for timber) etc. may be required. |
Once your goods have cleared through HM Customs, we can arrange for onward delivery throughout the UK or alternatively goods can be stored at our modern warehouse facility in Gravesend, Kent.
