Understanding Your Options
Customs special procedures HMRC-approved processes that allow businesses to suspend, reduce, or reclaim import duty.. They can offer significant advantages for businesses moving goods internationally, from reduced duty costs to greater flexibility in how goods are handled, processed, or stored. Using them correctly requires understanding the conditions, obligations, and authorisations involved.
EORI provides expert support with customs warehousing, inward processing, outward processing, and temporary admission, helping UK importers stay compliant while optimising duty exposure.
Discover how customs special procedures could apply to your business.
Customs Warehousing
Customs Warehousing allows businesses to store imported goods without paying import duty or VAT until those goods are released into free circulation. This provides a practical way to manage cash flow, support re-export strategies, and reduce supply chain disruptions.
Our guide provides a detailed overview of everything you need to know about customs warehousing and how it can benefit your business operationally and financially.
Alternatively, watch our YouTube Channel Customs: Cleared where we explain more about the benefits of Customs Warehousing.
Inward Processing Relief (IPR)
Inward processing relief (IPR) allows businesses to import goods for processing, repair, or manufacturing without paying duty or VAT upfront, on the basis that the finished goods will be re-exported.
For more information download our handy IPR guide to understand how it work, the compliance essentials and more.
Outward Processing Relief (OPR)
Outward Processing Relief (OPR) allows businesses to temporarily export goods for processing, repair, or manufacturing abroad and reimport them with duty payable only on the value added, rather than on the full value of the returned goods. It is commonly used across manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries where goods regularly move internationally for specialised processing.
