How has Brexit changed UK customs for importers and exporters?

GB–EU trade now requires full customs declarations on both sides, submitted through HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service (CDS), with GVMS controlling cross-Channel RoRo movements and postponed VAT accounting available to importers. Most UK forwarders on CargoLinked file these declarations as a standard service.

Which UK ports and airports do forwarders use?

Felixstowe handles the largest share of UK container volume, followed by Southampton and London Gateway; Dover and the Channel Tunnel carry cross-EU road freight. Air cargo moves primarily through Heathrow (LHR) and East Midlands (EMA).

Can UK forwarders arrange European road groupage?

Yes. Groupage (shared-load) road freight to and from the EU is widely offered, giving smaller consignments a cost-effective alternative to full loads. Post a freight request with your pallet count and destination for quotes.
