How can clearing agent clear at different ports around the UK, from one office?
Long gone are the days whereby a clearing agent had to be located at the port, and physically take documents down to the local Customs office for clearance. With the internet making our daily lives easier, it too has had a profound affect on the world of imports. By entering details onto a computer system, Customs entries can be sent and replies received in minutes, meaning that an agent located in Glasgow, Scotland can send entries to the National Clearance Hub in Salford, Manchester, to Customs clear goods located in Southampton on the south coast of England.
