What advise would you give me to act and act when ...... what is the best way forward. From my question you can understand i am completely clueless about custom clearance procedures. Thanks
Hi Khawar, At this instance I am assuming your goods will be delivered directly to your address? When the goods reach the airport, the air freight company will contact you to pay duty etc. Once it's paid, the goods will be delivered to you.
@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks oh so you saying i may not be finding myself in this paperwork bombardment to go through the custom clearance. I will be happy to pay the duty over the phone or so and get the shipment delivered at my address 😥😷😥
@@khawar79 That should mostly be the case. You can check with your supplier if it is getting delivered to your address and anything else you nee to do here in UK. Else I can put you in touch with my freight forwarder if you need help..
@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks thanks . shipment status page says " shipment has started importer will be responsible for unloading and paying customs vice versa".
Thanks, Are there companies that help to clear the imported goods and transport to our warehouse address in other UK cities - what type of companies provide this service and how to connect with them?
There are custom house agents who provide such services while importing or exporting goods. My suggestion is to you that google for some best CHA and contact them.

Hello Nisha. Thank you for this video. Would you be kind enough to advise me if using a freight forwarding company like ups is advisable if importing garments from Sri Lanka to the UK, especially in terms of keeping costs low and also if they will do the necessary paperwork to clear the imports. Thank you.
Hello Hishma Yes definitely recommend to use a freight forwarder. The rules and paperwork have changed recently and becoming more complicated these days! So definitely they will be updated with all those information Wishing you all the very best

Hi Nisha. I love you video. thanks for post it.!!. I want to import cocoa beans and derivatives from my country Venezuela. How can I get the license to import it.? I have already EORI #.
Hi Yditi, thank you 😊 As far as I am aware, you wouldn't need a license for cocoa import. But pls do check with your freight forwarding agent regarding this.
Hi Nisha, it’s an amazing video. I need your suggestions on below point please. 1) How much GBP I have to pay to start new company for an Export Import license. 2) If I open an import export license from india and import in the UK via ( CNF or CIF ) Do I still require an import export license in UK
If it's DDP, it means it's Duty & Delivery paid. Which means he covers everything. But always double check with your supplier and courier company till where is the delivery
Hi, thank you for making this video. Can you get an EORI number on a sole trader business that's registered in a virtual office space (i.e., with a physical address including mail forwarding)
Yes, you can obtain an EORI number if you are a sole trader business, and have a virtual office address. EORI is used by customs to track shipments coming in and out of the EU.
Hi Nisha. Can you please update the current process (After Brexit) for UK Customs Clearance Process for Importing into UK from EU and NON EU Countries. Please share link if you have already updated any video on this. Thanks.

@@adminefpit2642 Hi The process is almost the same as mentioned in the video. But for UK-EU import/Exports these are pretty new. So even the HMRC/Customs officers/ Freight forwarders are not sure of the paperwork and there are lots of delays to consignments
This is video is only for if your a business, I’m always importing electronics from Japan and never have to do any of this, all I do is pay for customs and that’s it it’s delivered next day
Hi, this is a fab video! Thank you! Is all this documentation required when starting out a business? I was thinking about starting a small business from home to test the waters? So maybe I could just order it under normal cargo?
Hi Esha If it's just samples in small quantities, you can definitely bring it under your personal name. Only thing to make sure is it gets delivered to your home address. As you might not be able to clear it at the airport. So better to double check with your freight forwarder or courier
Thanks for the video! I’m interested in importing wine into the UK; from the EU and South America. I’m unsure if I’ll need a warehouse; or a space in a warehouse, is that possible or it has to be a whole unit? Thanks for your help.
Hi Ana If you are looking store the goods here and distribute in the UK, you will need space in the warehouse. Else if you are sending it straight from EU to 1 customer, then you wouldn't need. It can be sent straight to the customers warehouse
Hi Nisha. Thanks for the video. May I ask you: is there any need for custom declaration on goods coming from Poland such as Sofas, if so, how do I need to do this plz? Thanks
Hello Asim As I understand, there is a Free trade between the UK and EU. So will not need customs declaration. But still would be good to check with your supplier in Poland. And your courier here in UK

Very informative info! thanks! quick question- We had ordered Samples from China and it was sent by DHL air freight and we didn't provide EORI but then DHL asked us to pay Tax/VAT online which we did and it was delivered to us within a week or so. Now we are ordering the actual consignment and again going to use DHL route so our question is this time do we have to have EORI number? or this can be delivered the way samples were delivered and we pay tax/VAT to DHL? what is the best way? please advise?
Hi Nisha, you share really great knowledge with your video's.Its amazing to watch you I want to import e cigarettes so can I know what's the exact process and must do's Moreover can you please guide me in booking a new ECID (European community identification number)and is it mandatory?
Hi Syed, So pleased to hear that you are finding my videos helpful. I am not an expert in cigarettes. So I would advise getting in touch with your freight forwarder and check the regulations regarding this. Your duty will depend on the type of cigarettes- hand rolled etc. Wish you all the best

Wonderfully informative video thank you for making and sharing. Regarding the commercial invoice and packing for list, are these documents i would need to compile or would the agent or supplier produce? Thanks and sorry if it's a dumb question, im still very early days in preparing 😂
Thank you for your wonderful explanations. It really helps me a lot. I just want to ask you if the shipping company doesn't do customs clearance for me, do I have to hire agent before the goods are shipped?
Hi, yes you can do it yourself too. But it's really not easy. So it would be great to get in touch with a freight forwarder to get all the clearance etc done for you
@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks You are right. It was so complicated and hard to understand and it leads me to your video 😆. Thanks you for your advise. I will ask the seller to change the forwarder. Thank you very much!
how do you classify commodity code for assembled items? say commodity code is 1234 for a usb cable and 5678 for a plug sold together as an assembled item.
You will have to search for terms that your products will be called as. Eg:- Switch, Fuse etc. Here's what I found when I searched ok their website www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/headings/8535. You will have to see which electrical appliances matches to what your product is. Hope it helps

Hi Nisha, thanks again for this information. I'm I required to have all these in place if I'm requesting for samples from potential supplies outside the UK? I'm hoping to find supplies who can send me samples that I can send to potential buyer in the UK.
If the supplier is sending samples by air courier direct to your house, you can get it under personal name. But they will still have to send all the documents (Airway Bill, Packing list & Invoice) with the parcel. Else it wouldn't be cleared at the airport/customs. Most of the suppliers will know about this.

@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks oh so you saying i may not be finding myself in this paperwork bombardment to go through the custom clearance. I will be happy to pay the duty over the phone or so and get the shipment delivered at my address 😥😷😥
@@khawar79 That should mostly be the case. You can check with your supplier if it is getting delivered to your address and anything else you nee to do here in UK. Else I can put you in touch with my freight forwarder if you need help..
@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks thanks . shipment status page says " shipment has started importer will be responsible for unloading and paying customs vice versa".
@@khawar79 Pls drop me an email to nishamenon@nikasu.com and I will put you in touch with my Freight forwarder.
Thanks, Are there companies that help to clear the imported goods and transport to our warehouse address in other UK cities - what type of companies provide this service and how to connect with them?

There are custom house agents who provide such services while importing or exporting goods. My suggestion is to you that google for some best CHA and contact them.

Hello Nisha. Thank you for this video. Would you be kind enough to advise me if using a freight forwarding company like ups is advisable if importing garments from Sri Lanka to the UK, especially in terms of keeping costs low and also if they will do the necessary paperwork to clear the imports. Thank you.
Hello Hishma
Yes definitely recommend to use a freight forwarder. The rules and paperwork have changed recently and becoming more complicated these days! So definitely they will be updated with all those information
Wishing you all the very best
@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks thank you @NishanMenon: Business Talks. Also, is there any way I can contact you for professional advice. I am an aspiring entrepreneur, just moved to the UK and not knowing the ropes. Thank you, again
This is very helpful. Thanks nisha. Appreciate if you are also able to do a video providing guidance ‘to export goods from India.’
Thanks a lot Anisha for the suggestion. Will look into it soon
Which products you are planning to import from India?
Hi Nisha. I love you video. thanks for post it.!!. I want to import cocoa beans and derivatives from my country Venezuela. How can I get the license to import it.? I have already EORI #.
Hi Yditi, thank you 😊
As far as I am aware, you wouldn't need a license for cocoa import. But pls do check with your freight forwarding agent regarding this.
Hi Nisha, it’s an amazing video. I need your suggestions on below point please.
1) How much GBP I have to pay to start new company for an Export Import license.
2) If I open an import export license from india and import in the UK via ( CNF or CIF ) Do I still require an import export license in UK
Hi Snehal, I just saw and replied to your email too. Pls check your email
Wish you all the best!
@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks Thanks Nisha I saw your email . Really appreciate Thanks once again
Hi Nisha, wonderful info.any direction/info on marketing food items in UK please. Regards from 🇬🇧
Perfect Video, I have a question for you. If my supplier in China sends goods ddp shipping, What would happen? What would I need to pay?
If it's DDP, it means it's Duty & Delivery paid. Which means he covers everything. But always double check with your supplier and courier company till where is the delivery
Hi, thank you for making this video. Can you get an EORI number on a sole trader business that's registered in a virtual office space (i.e., with a physical address including mail forwarding)
Yes, you can obtain an EORI number if you are a sole trader business, and have a virtual office address. EORI is used by customs to track shipments coming in and out of the EU.
Hi Nisha.
Can you please update the current process (After Brexit) for UK Customs Clearance Process for Importing into UK from EU and NON EU Countries.
Please share link if you have already updated any video on this.
Thanks.
I am actually looking for a help regarding step by step guide for UK Customs Clearance. As If I act as an agent on behalf of someone sending goods into UK from EU and Non EU countries.
Is the process can be done Online.?
Thanks in Advance.
@@adminefpit2642 Hi The process is almost the same as mentioned in the video. But for UK-EU import/Exports these are pretty new. So even the HMRC/Customs officers/ Freight forwarders are not sure of the paperwork and there are lots of delays to consignments
This is video is only for if your a business, I’m always importing electronics from Japan and never have to do any of this, all I do is pay for customs and that’s it it’s delivered next day
Yes absolutely its only for business imports
Do you import in your personal name?
@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks yes I import in my personal name to my home address
@@Cooke125 Ok yes that makes sense
Hi, this is a fab video! Thank you! Is all this documentation required when starting out a business? I was thinking about starting a small business from home to test the waters? So maybe I could just order it under normal cargo?
Hi Esha
If it's just samples in small quantities, you can definitely bring it under your personal name. Only thing to make sure is it gets delivered to your home address. As you might not be able to clear it at the airport.
So better to double check with your freight forwarder or courier
Thanks for the video! I’m interested in importing wine into the UK; from the EU and South America. I’m unsure if I’ll need a warehouse; or a space in a warehouse, is that possible or it has to be a whole unit? Thanks for your help.
Hi Ana
If you are looking store the goods here and distribute in the UK, you will need space in the warehouse. Else if you are sending it straight from EU to 1 customer, then you wouldn't need. It can be sent straight to the customers warehouse
Ana pedroza I am also planning to export fruit and vegetables
Hi Nisha. Thanks for the video. May I ask you: is there any need for custom declaration on goods coming from Poland such as Sofas, if so, how do I need to do this plz? Thanks
Hello Asim
As I understand, there is a Free trade between the UK and EU. So will not need customs declaration. But still would be good to check with your supplier in Poland. And your courier here in UK
Hi asim

Thank you for this valuable video. I are able to import fruit and vegetables from Colombia. Plantain and avocado specially. I would like to know how much I would pay in the custom and what documents I would need to bring that type of product into Uk. The operation would be CIF. I really appreciate your help. Thanks
Hi John, Thanks very much for your kind comment. Regarding bringing fruits and vegetables, pls see my video on finding Duty rates. The customs charges depends on the weight of the goods, whether it is fresh fruits, frozen etc.

Hi Neha, I wouldn't be an expert in giving you a list of banned items. Freight Forwarders or HMRC will be the best people to check regarding this.
Very Informative. Thanks, mam
Most welcome! Wish you all the very best 😊
Hi Nisha Mam- is there any food license required to import spices/glossary? if yes, how to get it. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello Manoj
Most of the products do not need a Food License. It depends on what you are importing. Eg:- If you Import Rice over 1000kgs, then you need a Licence, but in general spices, groceries doesn't need.
To find out more, you can contact: The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) Import Licencing (T) +44 (0) 3000 200 301
Email: ruralpayments@defra.gov.uk
Thank you so much for your help.
Very informative info! thanks! quick question- We had ordered Samples from China and it was sent by DHL air freight and we didn't provide EORI but then DHL asked us to pay Tax/VAT online which we did and it was delivered to us within a week or so. Now we are ordering the actual consignment and again going to use DHL route so our question is this time do we have to have EORI number? or this can be delivered the way samples were delivered and we pay tax/VAT to DHL? what is the best way? please advise?
Hi Anand, Yes you will need an EORI number even for selling small quantities too.
DO we also need to Request for CHIEF access (C1800)?
Not sure of that Anand. You will have to check directly with them
Hi Nisha, you share really great knowledge with your video's.Its amazing to watch you
I want to import e cigarettes so can I know what's the exact process and must do's
Moreover can you please guide me in booking a new ECID (European community identification number)and is it mandatory?
Hi Syed, So pleased to hear that you are finding my videos helpful. I am not an expert in cigarettes. So I would advise getting in touch with your freight forwarder and check the regulations regarding this. Your duty will depend on the type of cigarettes- hand rolled etc.
Wish you all the best
@@NishaMenonBusinessTalks thank you so much Nisha
Hope you keep going growing ❤️
One more question can you please help me with what is ECID..? And how can I get one please
What happens if you're a US company with an EU Customs watch in place? How does the US intellectual property rights holder apply for an EORI number?
Hi Sophia
Not sure about that. I would suggest you contact the HMRC to get clarification.
For VAT customs, when providing goods value, do you need to state shipping costs to hmrc when taking in to account VAT import charges.
Its only the goods value on which the VAT is calculated
Not the shipping costs
Hi, this is very informative video guide, than you for posting. Do I need dedicated company for Import and EORI number? I work through my own UK limited company for IT services but now planning to start import business as a beginner. Can I use my existing IT limited company to get EORI number? Thank in advance. I will watch you other videos for learning.
Amazing Job..

Hi Nisha, thanks again for this information. I'm I required to have all these in place if I'm requesting for samples from potential supplies outside the UK? I'm hoping to find supplies who can send me samples that I can send to potential buyer in the UK.
If the supplier is sending samples by air courier direct to your house, you can get it under personal name. But they will still have to send all the documents (Airway Bill, Packing list & Invoice) with the parcel. Else it wouldn't be cleared at the airport/customs. Most of the suppliers will know about this.
