At Roadway Customs LTD, we offer expert customs clearance services for businesses involved in the import and export of machinery. Whether you’re moving construction equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial tools, or factory parts, we help you meet all the necessary customs requirements — quickly, compliantly, and with minimal disruption to your operations.

Importing Machinery into the UK

Bringing machinery into the UK can involve complex rules, especially when dealing with:

  • Tariff classification (Commodity Codes / HS Codes)

  • Import VAT and customs duties

  • Origin rules (preferential treatment under trade agreements)

  • UKCA marking or CE marking (if applicable)

At Roadway Customs LTD, we help you:

  • Accurately classify machinery to ensure correct duty and VAT calculations

  • Determine eligibility for duty reliefs (e.g. Returned Goods Relief, Temporary Admission, Inward Processing)

  • Liaise with HMRC to ensure quick customs clearance

  • Handle imports through non-inventory ports like Dover or Folkestone with pre-lodged declarations via GVMS

  • Use VATZ correctly for postponed VAT accounting, improving your cash flow

We also offer support for part shipments, complex invoices, and mixed loads — taking the stress out of heavy machinery imports.

 Customs Advice for Machinery Movements

Some machinery imports or exports may be subject to special rules. We provide practical guidance on:

  • Controlled goods, including dual-use items and engine types

  • End-use relief, if machinery is for a specific industrial process

  • Used machinery inspections or requirements (especially from outside the EU)

  • Temporary Admission, if you’re bringing machinery into the UK for exhibitions or short-term use

Customs is about more than paperwork — it’s about strategy. We’ll work with you to make the smartest, most cost-effective decisions for your machinery logistics.
