Chemical Import & Export Customs Support – Roadway Customs LTD

Navigating the complexities of chemical imports and exports requires experience, precision, and strict compliance with UK and international regulations. At Roadway Customs LTD, we offer specialist customs clearance services for businesses dealing with a wide range of industrial, agricultural, and laboratory chemicals — ensuring your goods move safely and legally across borders.

Importing Chemicals into the UK

The import of chemicals is one of the most tightly regulated sectors due to safety, environmental, and trade controls. We support importers by:

  • Classifying goods accurately using correct commodity codes (HS codes) — essential for duty rates and regulatory checks

  • Ensuring compliance with:

    • REACH regulations

    • CLP (Classification, Labelling & Packaging)

    • PIC (Prior Informed Consent) requirements

  • Handling import licenses or notifications when required (especially for hazardous or restricted substances)

  • Advising on safety data sheet (SDS) requirements

  • Pre-lodging entries for non-inventory ports like Dover and Folkestone using GVMS

  • Assisting with VATZ setup for postponed VAT accounting, reducing import VAT burden

Whether you’re importing raw materials or finished chemical products, we ensure your shipments are processed with full compliance and no unnecessary delays.

Exporting Chemicals from the UK

Exporting chemicals, especially outside the EU, involves multiple regulatory layers. Our services ensure:

  • Full export declarations, prepared and lodged correctly

  • Checks on whether your product is a dual-use item or subject to export control licensing

  • Guidance on REACH registration for non-EU destinations

  • Help with dangerous goods transportation requirements

  • Documentation for origin and product compliance at the destination border

We help UK chemical exporters avoid delays, fines, or rejected shipments — making global trade easier and safer.

Customs Compliance & Safety Expertise

Our team understands the specific needs of the chemical sector, including:

  • Handling of UN-classified dangerous goods

  • Advice on temporary imports for testing or exhibitions

  • Support with Returned Goods Relief for rejected or recalled products

  • Working with your logistics teams to ensure correct labelling and transport modes (ADR, IMDG, IATA compliant)

  • Constant coordination with port health, DEFRA, and other regulatory bodies as needed

We also provide consultancy on customs planning and cost mitigation strategies tailored to your product portfolio.
