Export is a process of sending (usually sold) goods from the UK to another country. Exported goods must be correctly classified under an appropriate commodity code. Some merchandise may also require an Export Licence. If in doubt, please, contact us for more details.

In addition to an Export declaration, depending on the destination, the type of cargo and the mode of transport, your consignment may require a transit (T1) declaration.
