Customs Clearance Services

We offer customs clearance services from any of the UK ports covering all types of entries including temporary imports, IPR/OPR, private importations, historic artefacts, vehicle clearance and food stuffs.

For all imports in to the UK the consignee is required to submit an EORI (Economic Operator Registration Identification) number in order to clear through customs.  We can supply the application form and assist with completing this form.  Most businesses will have this applied to their VAT number but if you are not VAT registered then they will simply issue you a fresh number to use.  Once you are EORI registered you are then free to use the same number for all future imports.

However complex the clearance issue, Power Forwarding will deal with customs directly and professionally ensuring a smooth clearance process.

Ocean Freight Services

Power Forwarding offer ocean freight services from and to virtually anywhere with the main areas of trade being the Far East, Australasia and the Americas.

Ocean freight is by far the most common and cost effective way of moving the majority of cargo to and from the UK.  We offer LCL (part load), FCL (full load) and reefer services to virtually anywhere at competitive rates.  The largest market we cover is the Far East simply due to the vast volumes from this region of the globe.  The two main UK ports we serve are Felixstowe and Southampton.

We have depots situated across the country in which to transport consolidation cargo to intended for export including London, Manchester, Bradford, Bristol, Berkshire and Essex.  You are free to arrange the delivery to these facilities or we can organise the collection on your behalf.

For import consolidation we have unpacking depots in Felixstowe, Southampton and Birmingham.
