Customs Clearance and Brokerage Services by MIES International

Our customs brokerage is at the heart of our business. MIES International was conceived 40 years ago as a customs clearance specialist to the wider freight industry in the UK. In the many years we have been handling customs clearances for clients of all types, there are very few situations we haven't seen or problems we haven't resolved. In fact many of our clients ask for our help when training staff in respect of customs matters.

The need for an office at every port has gone. With the modernisation of HM Revenue & Customs, all customs entries and payments are dealt with electronically via a centralised HMRC location. With our continuous investment in computer systems and communications, MIES specialist customs clearance staff are able to clear your import or export shipment from any of our terminals no matter what port or airport your goods arrive at or depart from.

As an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO), you can be assured of a first class service on ALL customs related matters. We take pride in being an AEO and MIES was amongst the first Midlands based forwarders to be approved. The assessment programme is rigorous and certification confirms a company’s ability to work to extremely high standards of customs compliance.

AEO is a World Customs Organisation initiative with the aim of providing businesses with an internationally recognised quality mark, indicating safe and secure practices within the International Supply Chain. The Benefits include a reduction in physical and documentary checks, and simplification of data requirements. Additional benefits will be implemented by customs over forthcoming years.
