When UK duty rates increased for alcohol with an ABV of 11.5%-12.5%, we expedited shipments to clear customs and deliver before the rise, securing extra vessel space, storage and haulage. For drinks with an ABV of 12.5%-14.5%, where duty rates decreased, we maintained schedules to avoid supply chain disruption, negotiating discounted rates for demurrage and detention, and securing additional quayside storage.
Getting your documentation right from the start is the best way to ensure your wines, beers and spirits clear customs easily. It can be tricky, organic wines for example, require an organic certificate, in addition to the standard documents generated by the producer. Luckily, we're experts in moving alcohol and we'll advise you on what you need.
Duties, tariffs and taxes, what they are and how they are different, can be confusing. By choosing us as your logistics partner, you'll have an expert team to help explain exactly what you need to know and when you need it to move your drinks internationally.
