Import Declarations
We manage import declarations for UK and French customs, covering RoRo ports, all major seaports, and inland inventory-linked warehouses. Additionally, we provide door-to-door customs declaration services to and from most European countries, including Regimes 40 and 42 in France.
Our experts offer advice on classification and valuation of shipments, as well as calculation of taxes such as duty, VAT, and excise, using HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service (CDS) in the UK and the French Delta customs.
Export Declarations for the UK, France
Our team manages export declarations from the UK and France, ensuring your goods leave the country in full compliance across all modes of transport. Whether shipments depart through Dover, Calais, Dunkerque, Caen, Dieppe, Felixstowe, or Holyhead, we’ve got it covered.
T1 and T2 Transit Documentation
We issue and manage both T1 and T2 transit documents from the UK and France, enabling the smooth and efficient movement of goods across borders and throughout various European countries. Our transit services ensure your goods cross multiple borders seamlessly, with duties deferred and full compliance with Union and Common Transit procedures.
ICS / ENS Declaration
We handle Import Control System (ICS2) and Entry Summary (ENS) declarations for goods entering the EU and UK, ensuring strict adherence to pre-arrival safety and security protocols mandated by customs authorities. Our experts prepare and submit all required data electronically ahead of cargo arrival, including detailed shipment information and risk assessments, to facilitate seamless customs clearance and minimise the risk of delays or penalties.
ATA Carnet – Temporary Admission and Export of Certain Goods
An ATA Carnet allows you to temporarily export samples and goods for exhibitions, trade fairs, and product demonstrations without paying customs duties or import taxes.
With an ATA Carnet, you can send goods temporarily to any destination within the global ATA network. RENSAT will manage the entire process efficiently, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience from start to finish.
GVMS, PBN & ELO Envelopes
For UK to EU road transport, we generate Goods Movement Reference (GMR) numbers through the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS), ensuring your vehicles are fully prepared and compliant for border crossings between UK and EU ports.
We also manage Pre-Boarding Notifications (PBN) to submit advance shipment details as required by customs authorities. In addition, we generate ELO (Enveloppe Logistique Opérateur) envelopes, which are mandatory for French customs when crossing via French ports, helping to streamline your movements and avoid delays.
