Operating a Customs Warehouse: A Guide for Importing Goods from Outside the UK

  • There are two types of customs warehouses: public and private
  • To declare goods in or out of a customs warehouse, you need to make a full import or export declaration or use a simplified declaration procedure
  • When placing goods in a customs warehouse, you must ensure they are sent directly to the approved warehouse within 5 working days
  • When removing goods from a customs warehouse, you may need to pay duty if releasing them to free circulation
  • No charges will be due if moving goods to another customs procedure or re-exporting them directly from the warehouse
