Time is running out! From the 31st January 2025, all goods arriving into the UK from the EU must have a Safety and Security (S&S) ENS Declaration.
It is the responsibility of the carrier / haulier to ensure that this is done, but if we are handling the CDS Customs Declaration, then we can also create the ENS declaration for you.

Today is a reminder to prioritize our mental well-being. Stress affects us all, but we can take steps to manage it. Here are a few tips to help you cope:

Breathe Deeply: Take a moment to focus on your breath. Inhale deeply for four counts, hold for four, and exhale for four.
Get Moving: A quick walk or some light exercise can boost your mood and clear your mind.
Connect with Others: Reach out to a friend or loved one. Sharing your feelings can lighten the load.
Practice Mindfulness: Take time to be present in the moment. Meditation and mindfulness apps can guide you.
Unplug: Take a break from screens and social media to recharge your mind.
Remember, it’s okay to seek help if stress becomes overwhelming. Let’s support each other in creating a healthier, happier community! 💚

Remember, Remember the 5th of November!!
Fawkes was tried and executed in early 1606. His failure has since been commemorated in the UK as Guy Fawkes Night, or Bonfire Night, celebrated with fireworks and the burning of effigies.
When it comes to shipping fireworks, navigating customs clearance is crucial for a smooth process. Fireworks are often classified as hazardous materials, which means they are subject to strict regulations and requirements. Proper documentation, including shipping manifests and safety data sheets, is essential to ensure compliance with local and international laws.
Our experienced team specializes in handling the complexities of customs clearance for shipments, we don’t deal with fireworks directly, but we do deal with other hazardous products. We can ensure that your goods arrive safely and on time. We prioritise safety and efficiency, guiding you through every step, from preparation to delivery, so you can focus on your celebrations without the hassle of logistics. Let us take care of the details while you enjoy your goods!
