Common Customs Delay Causes

UK customs delays are caused by: incomplete or incorrect customs declarations, missing or invalid supporting documents (invoice, packing list, certificate of origin), unpaid import duties or VAT, HMRC examination requests, Border Force inspections, missing product-specific certificates (phytosanitary, health, CITES), and incorrect commodity codes. Carrgo identifies the exact cause and resolves it fast.

How Carrgo Resolves Customs Delays

Carrgo contacts HMRC and the port authority to identify the hold reason, prepares and submits the required documentation, liaises with Border Force if an examination is in progress, pays outstanding duties on your behalf (recoverable), and arranges container or cargo release. We aim to resolve most customs delays within 24–48 hours.

Preventing Future Customs Delays

Carrgo helps prevent future delays through: pre-shipment documentation review, correct commodity code classification, accurate customs value declarations, pre-arrival customs filing, and proactive HMRC communication. Our 99%+ first-submission success rate means your goods clear customs on the first attempt.
