Why Is My Container Being Held?

Containers are held at UK ports for several reasons: incomplete customs entry, unpaid import duties, HMRC examination request, missing certificates, or Border Force inspection. Carrgo identifies the exact reason and resolves it as quickly as possible. We have established contacts at all major UK ports and with HMRC.

The Container Release Process

Carrgo manages the entire container release process: identifying the hold reason, preparing and submitting required documentation, paying outstanding duties (recoverable), liaising with HMRC and Border Force, obtaining the port release order, and arranging container collection and onward delivery. We keep you updated at every stage.

Minimising Demurrage Costs

Every day a container sits at port incurs demurrage and detention charges — typically £50–£200 per day. Carrgo acts fast to minimise these costs. We also advise on how to avoid port holds in future through proper documentation and pre-arrival customs filing.
