COURIER CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS

What DHL, FedEx & UPS Require on Every Cross-Border Commercial Invoice

Automated courier sorting hubs reject incomplete paperwork before the aircraft or trunk leaves the depot. Verify these fields before printing labels.

1. Shipper & Consignee EORI / VAT

DHL Express and FedEx require both exporter GB EORI and destination EU EORI / VIES VAT ID to file import customs electronically without messaging your buyer.

2. Explicit DAP vs. DDP Incoterms

Clearly state Incoterms 2020 (DAP or DDP) and duty/tax billing responsibilities so carriers know whether to bill the shipper account or the recipient.

3. Net vs. Gross Weight Reconciliation

Line-item net weights and total parcel gross weight must match the courier airwaybill to pass automated customs pre-clearance screening.

PROTECT YOUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE & BUYER RELATIONSHIPS

Don't Make Your Customers Deal With Your Customs Paperwork.

Getting your Commercial Invoice right the first time means couriers never interrogate your buyer for missing tax IDs or customs clarifications—your customer simply gets their delivery on time.

❌ WITHOUT PRE-FLIGHT ACCURACY

What Your Customer Deals With When an Invoice Has Errors

🛑

Courier Interrogation at the Border

DHL, FedEx, or UPS clearance teams hold the parcel and email your buyer asking for missing EORI/VAT details or commodity clarifications they don't know how to answer.

📧

Stressful Post-Shipping Back-and-Forth

Your customer messages your account team frustrated ("Why is our order stuck in customs and what info do they want?"), triggering a stressful 3-way email chase.

⏳

Painful Invoice Amendments & Delays

Issuing revised invoices after dispatch takes days to re-process through carrier brokerage queues—delaying store launches, incurring £68 amendment fees, and damaging buyer trust.

✅ THE PRE-FLIGHT VERIFIED EXPERIENCE

The Pre-Flight Verified Experience (Why Customers Love Ordering)

✨

Zero Buyer Effort Required

Consignee EORI, VIES VAT, Importer of Record details, and 10-digit HS descriptions are verified before shipping—so couriers never need to contact your buyer for missing info.

🛡️

No Amendments, No Chasing

Statutory clauses (UK-EU TCA Preferential Origin and Value for Customs Purposes Only) are embedded automatically, preventing post-dispatch revisions and surprise duty demands.

🚀

Predictable, On-Time Arrival

Shipments sail through UK & EU customs hubs seamlessly, giving your international buyers and retail stores the same frictionless experience as a domestic delivery.

💡 Transparent Estimate — How we calculate this
We don't assume every shipment gets fined. Most manual shipments clear fine—it's the ~15% with a spreadsheet typo, 6-digit HS code, or missing EORI that trigger courier holds. We estimate ~£20 saved per consignment by combining ~18 mins of manual document prep (~£9 staff time) with the avoided risk of published carrier fees (£9.50+/day bonded storage after 3 days or £68 post-clearance amendment fees).

CLEAR ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Customs & Billing Questions

Clear facts about post-Brexit UK/EU documentation compliance, data security, and rollout workflows.

How does improving Commercial Invoice accuracy benefit my customers and buyers receiving the shipment? +

When an invoice contains an error (such as a 6-digit commodity code, missing consignee EORI, or omitted non-sale declaration), couriers place the parcel on "Clearance Delay — Consignee Action Required". The courier then contacts your customer directly, demanding tax IDs, clearance authority, or technical explanations of product materials. This leads to frustrated buyers, multi-party email chains, and days wasted preparing post-clearance invoice amendments. By pre-flight auditing every field against official HMRC and EU registries before shipping, goods clear border customs without courier intervention—delivering a flawless, zero-friction experience for your buyers and retail store managers.

Can I cancel my monthly subscription at any time or save with annual billing? +

Yes! All monthly subscriptions can be cancelled at any time with 1 click in your Customer Billing Portal with zero cancellation fees or friction. If your business exports year-round, you can also choose our Yearly billing option to save 20% across every plan tier (Pro Shipper, Logistics Team, and Broker/Agency).

Can I generate companion Packing Lists alongside Commercial Invoices? +

Yes! With one click or batch CSV export, the platform generates both the statutory Commercial Invoice (for customs clearance and tax assessment) and a matching warehouse Packing List. The Packing List preserves all physical shipping details (box counts, net/gross weights, commodity descriptions, consignee addresses) while removing commercial unit prices and currency totals so warehouse and carrier handlers focus purely on physical handling.

How secure is our commercial and client data? +

Security is built into every layer. We utilize bank-grade encryption at rest and in transit, strict multi-tenant workspace partitioning, advanced cryptographic password hashing, constant-time session signature verification, live credential revocation, enterprise Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and granular role-based access control (RBAC).

What makes these Commercial Invoices legally compliant for UK & EU customs? +

Our invoices incorporate all mandatory post-Brexit HMRC and European Union customs criteria, including full Seller/Consignor details with UK EORI and VAT, Consignee details with destination EU EORI and VIES VAT, full 10-digit UK/EU commodity HS codes, net and gross weights, clear descriptions, commercial item valuations, accepted Incoterms 2020 delivery terms (e.g., DDP, DAP), country of origin, and the statutory "No Charge to Consignee — Value for Customs Purposes Only" valuation clause for display and promotional store rollouts.

How does the Broker / Agency tier keep client data isolated? +

Each client company managed under a Broker account is provisioned as an independent, strictly isolated workspace. Client directories, SKU catalogues, invoices, and shipment tracking records are fully partitioned. Broker administrators can seamlessly switch between client companies using the 1-click top navigation switcher or provision direct login access to the client company's staff without exposing other clients' data.

Which carriers and official registries are directly supported? +

We integrate live with official HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC EORI and VAT registries), European Commission VIES & EOS registries, and the official UK Global Online Tariff database. For logistics monitoring, the system directly synchronizes with DHL Express and FedEx tracking networks for real-time clearance events and delivery confirmations.
