‘Enhanced Remote Transit Shed’: we have an ‘ERTS’ facility approved by HM Revenue & Customs which allows us to remove shipments from a port or airport for unpacking prior to the goods being entered to or cleared by Customs. This allows for quicker movement of cargo through the port/airport and results in the goods being made available to the importer more readily than would otherwise be the case if all consignments had to be cleared at the port/airport before they could be moved.
To be approved, we have to maintain the ERTS facility in a secure manner, and in good repair to the satisfaction of HMRC. It is fully equipped with suitable facilities for storing, unloading, examining and clearing goods and for examining vehicles.
