The delays at ports that caused problems during the first part of the year have now eased and traffic is now flowing smoothly.

However, unaccompanied trailers containing goods for export can still meet with delays – or even rejection – if the accompanying paperwork is not correctly filled out.

We would like to remind our customers that filling out the customs forms is their responsibility and to avoid shipment delays, it helps to get these issued quickly and correctly.

Thankfully, it is rare for us to have to deal with this sort of issue, but it is something our customers should bear in mind.
