We manage your shipments both ways. Here is what we need to submit your exports and imports declarations:

Letter of Empowerment (UK) & Power of Attorney Letter (EU)

To authorise MJS Cargo to act as your direct representative in the completion of customs declarations (only needs to be completed once)

EORI numbers of exporter and importer

The Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number is a prerequisite for customs clearance of goods in the UK and the EU.

Export declaration

If the shipper creates the export declaration independently, provide the Movement Reference Number (MRN) of the Export Accompanied

Document (EAD) – to be inserted in the transport order – and handover the export accompanying document to MJS Cargo.

Commercial invoice

Stating terms & conditions, value, quantity and description of goods. Customs duties and valued added tax are calculated based on the value of goods and currency.

Customs tariff number (HS Code) of the goods

Harmonised classification code of the goods.

Description of goods

Concise description of the goods in local language, including gross/net weight and number/type of packaging.

Value of goods

Value of goods and currency to calculate the customs duties and import tax.

Incoterms

Agreed delivery terms with your business partners, as they define next to the organisation of transportation, who is responsible for organizing customs clearance and associated costs.

UK import procedure: Full declaration or Customs Freight Simplified Procedure (CFSP)

Inform which UK import procedure will be used based on the UK Border Operating Model (BOM). The option needs to be confirmed and initiated prior to the EU export. If MJS Cargo is not commissioned to prepare the full import declaration, provide the Entry Number (ENO) in the transport order.

Goods complying with preferential origin based on the trade agreements between the UK and the EU, CH and NO

For EU trade: a “Statement on origin” is necessary without any value restrictions indicating the GB EORI number of the exporter. For CH and NO trades: preferential text must be stated on the commercial invoice or a EUR1 movement certificate must be issued.
