Do all shipments require a Safety u0026 Security Declaration?rn
Most imports and exports between the UK and EU require an SSD unless a specific exemption applies. We confirm requirements for each shipment.rnrn
Is an SSD the same as a customs declaration?rn
No — an SSD is separate and focuses on safety and security data. Both may be needed depending on the movement.rnrn
How far in advance must an SSD be submitted?rn
Timeframes vary by transport mode. We ensure your SSD is submitted within the correct window to prevent delays.rnrn
Can you work directly with hauliers and carriers?rn
Yes — we routinely coordinate with hauliers, forwarders, and drivers to ensure they have everything they need for border checks.
