Safety & Security Declarations (SSD) with Customs Entry
Whether you’re handling imports, exports, or transit movements, submitting SSDs accurately and on time is essential to avoid delays, penalties, or refused entry at the border.
Whether you’re handling imports, exports, or transit movements, submitting SSDs accurately and on time is essential to avoid delays, penalties, or refused entry at the border. Our SSD service ensures your declarations are completed correctly, submitted within the required timeframes, and fully compliant with UK and EU safety and security regulations. We manage the entire process, making border movements smooth and stress-free for hauliers, traders, and logistics providers.
How It Works
Step 1: Data & Documentation Check
We review your shipment details — including packing lists, consignor/consignee data, routing, and transport information — to ensure all required fields are complete.
Step 2: SSD Submission
We prepare and lodge your Safety & Security Declaration through the appropriate system (ENS/EXS), ensuring full compliance with UK or EU rules.
Step 3: Confirmation & Border Guidance
You receive confirmation of successful submission along with any required references and clear instructions for drivers or carriers.
Step 4: Monitoring & Issue Resolution
We monitor customs responses and handle any queries or corrections to keep your goods moving without disruption.
Do all shipments require a Safety & Security Declaration?
Most imports and exports between the UK and EU require an SSD unless a specific exemption applies. We confirm requirements for each shipment.
Is an SSD the same as a customs declaration?
No — an SSD is separate and focuses on safety and security data. Both may be needed depending on the movement.
How far in advance must an SSD be submitted?
Timeframes vary by transport mode. We ensure your SSD is submitted within the correct window to prevent delays.
Can you work directly with hauliers and carriers?
Yes — we routinely coordinate with hauliers, forwarders, and drivers to ensure they have everything they need for border checks.
