Guidance: Get someone to deal with customs for you

A link to ‘Check what you need to consider before getting someone to deal with customs for you’, information about what you will need to give the person dealing with customs for you and agreeing terms and conditions have been added.

Added clarification that when someone is representing you directly and making declarations in your name (in set circumstances), they will not be held jointly liable.

If you’re established in the UK and import goods into Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) you can ask someone to act directly using their own authorisation, to make declarations using either simplified declaration procedure or entry in the declarant’s records.

From 1 January 2021, someone dealing with customs for you will need to be established in Great Britain or Northern Ireland.
