At Avocet, we don’t just know how to submit your special procedure declarations – we can also manage the record keeping requirements on your behalf if you need support in this area too.
Special procedure imports allow a suspension or reduction in import taxes, depending on the specific reasons for import.
Inward Processing
We have a large number of specialist inward processing clients, and understand the importance of including specific descriptions on the declarations including serial numbers or other distinguishable marks and cross checking what we are being asked to enter against your authorisation letter.
Temporary Admission
We are able to support TA holders with accurate import declarations, ensuring details such as the economic code are declared correctly, alongside the throughput period. We always ask for a copy of your approval so we can cross check the specific terms.
Outward Processing Re-Import
Re-imports from OP are not always tax free – if paid processing or repairs have been undertaken overseas, OP allows a reduction on the re-import taxes. Our team are trained in the rules of OP and in calculating reduced import taxes when applicable using the C&E1154.
Customs & Excise Warehousing
Our team are experienced in declaring shipments to both public and private customs and excise warehouses. For excise warehousing, we are also able to raise the accompanying ARC between the port and the excise warehouse premises.
Diversion Entry Services
We also make regular diversion entries from inward processing, temporary admission and warehousing to free circulation for goods already in the UK but held under a special procedure. In some instances, a decision is made to keep the goods in the UK at which point a declaration to free circulation is required, known also as a diversion entry.

Special procedure management can ease the burden of holding customs authorisations, by taking away the additional admin and ensuring compliance with experienced customs professionals managing your records.
