Approve samples and agree terms
Approve a pre-production sample before bulk production, agree the payment terms (for example a letter of credit or bank transfer) and, if you want one, book a third-party pre-shipment inspection.

Ship with the right documents

Clear customs in United Kingdom
Goods are declared to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) under their HS code; a freight forwarder or customs broker usually files the declaration for you. Before the first shipment you will need a GB EORI number. The duty and tax due depend on the HS code and the goods' origin: look the code up in the UK Trade Tariff or ask your broker.
