  • New UPS Import Questioning?

    Hi all,

    Have some MP5 straight magazines headed my way from the U.S. They arrived before the weekend at standstead. And I got a rather strange email that I haven't seen before, asking me for import information.

    The email:


    Dear Sir/Madam,

    This e-mail is from UPS Brokerage at East Midlands Airport. We are responsible for completing UK Import Customs formalities on your behalf for UPS shipments. We are contacting you because we need more information from you in order to complete Import Customs formalities on a current shipment.

    Please provide Import Customs clearance instructions for the shipment referred to in the subject line of this e-mail. A copy of the documents we hold relating to this shipment is attached to this e-mail for your reference.

    As a matter of urgency, please provide us with your clearance instructions; including

    - Customs procedure
    - Commodity Code or Plain language goods description
    - Your Eori number
    - Approval to use your Deferment Approval Number (DAN), where appropriate
    - Any other information we must take into account when completing this Customs declaration on your behalf

    We would like to advise you that after three working days of shipment being held, UPS will apply storage fees of £13.00 per package per day.

    You can contact us regarding this Customs clearance request from 08.00 - 18.00 Monday - Friday on 08457 877 877 option 4/1

    Routine Customs clearance is included in UPS shipping rates. Government charges for example duties and taxes are usually payable for UK import shipments. These charges are in addition to the value of the goods and shipping charges you may have already paid to the seller. UPS Brokerage will apply additional fees for the use of the UPS deferment, for non-routine clearances and storage fees for shipments held in the UPS facilities pending your instructions. A full list and description of these charges is available at http://www.ups.com/content/gb/en/shi...dditional.html

    Thanks & Kind Regards

              Here is a copy of the form if your seller didn't put an email / phone number on the package. Should save you a few emails back and forth

                Has been happening for a few months now. If you don't reply to it within a week they'll charge you a holding fee, which is added daily after 7 days of what they call "non conformance". They are supposed to call you to let you know that this needs to be filled out, but the second time it happened to me I didn't get a phone call. And both packages came from the same company.
