SGS Achieves HMRC Excise Registered Consignor Status
We are now an HMRC Excise Registered Consignor
We’re excited to announce that SGS Trade Facilitation Services (TFS) UK has achieved HMRC Excise Registered Consignor status, enhancing our support for clients involved in manufacturing, distributing and moving excise goods. Our new status enables us to streamline the customs clearance process, making it easier and faster to clear goods at UK ports.
Efficient clearance of excise goods at UK ports
As a Registered Excise Consignor, we can now clear import excise goods at any UK seaport or Eurotunnel entry point. This authorization enables us to initiate the excise movement in the HMRC Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS), ensuring that goods move seamlessly from ports to warehouses with minimal delays. We handle the import duty declaration and VAT (where applicable), while excise duty remains suspended during transit to the bonded warehouse.
Our end-to-end solution
With our authorization to raise Electronic Administrative Documents (e-ADs) and generate Administrative Reference Codes (ARCs) on EMCS, we ensure your consignments are fully compliant from UK ports to bonded warehouses. We are also an approved Excise Registered Consignor in the EU, where our team in the Netherlands facilitates the continuous movement of excise goods within the EU under duty suspension. Whether your goods are headed to a bonded warehouse from a UK port or within the EU, we help keep your operations compliant and streamlined.
