FIG.01
UK Commercial Import Clearance
HMRC customs entry, tariff classification, and import VAT, handled by partners screened for your commodity type and trade lane.
Independence is the feature.
Going direct to a single customs broker means hoping they are the right one for your shipment. Most brokers are excellent at one or two commodity types and unfamiliar with the rest. A broker fluent in textile imports may be the wrong choice for a Transfer of Residence move, a NOVA vehicle import, or a DEFRA-controlled food shipment. Portix Global holds the network, knows the specialisms, and routes every enquiry to the partner most likely to clear your goods cleanly through HMRC.
We do not run a brokerage. That means we pick the right partner for your shipment, not the only one on our books.
Six clearance specialisms, six routes into the UK.
Each figure below is a working specialism inside our partner network. The trade lanes are typical origin routes; we route across all UK ports.
FIG.02
Personal Effects & Household Goods
Moving to the UK, or shipping family belongings back. We route to partners who handle personal-effects clearance every week, not as a side line.
FIG.03
Transfer of Residence (TOR) Relief
TOR is its own specialism. Partners we recommend file C3 applications routinely and know exactly what HMRC accepts on first read.
FIG.04
EORI Number Application
No EORI yet, or unsure if you need a GB or XI number. We walk you through it before connecting you, so the partner you meet is ready to clear your goods.
FIG.05
Vehicle Import (NOVA)
The 14-day NOVA window is unforgiving. We match you with partners who file NOVA same-week and prep your DVLA paperwork in parallel.
FIG.06
Dangerous Goods & Pharmaceutical
DEFRA, MHRA, and SPS-controlled freight needs partners holding the right authorisations. We hold the list, so you do not need to find them yourself.
One enquiry. The right partner. HMRC done properly.
Three steps. No phone tag, no chasing.
01
Submit your enquiry
A short conditional enquiry form asks only what applies to your shipment. Around five to ten minutes. No freight jargon, no irrelevant questions.
02
We match you to the right partner
We hold a vetted network of UK customs clearance specialists. We match by commodity, value, urgency, and regulatory profile, not by who is available.
03
Your partner handles HMRC
They file the customs declaration, calculate duty and VAT, and clear your goods. You pay them directly. We stay in the loop and step in if anything goes wrong.
