Coventry — the UK's automotive capital

Coventry is home to Jaguar Land Rover (Global HQ in Gaydon, 20 miles from the city centre) and dozens of Tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers. MIRA Technology Park is the UK's electric vehicle testing centre. Polish companies mainly export to Coventry: car parts (HS 8708), plastics (HS 39), seals and wiring harnesses. The M6, M69 and A45 motorways connect Coventry to the whole West Midlands logistics network.

Import and export of automotive parts — customs support

The automotive supply chain requires precise documentation and timeliness. Easy Clearance handles the entire customs process for businesses in the automotive sector: from SAD/C88 declarations, through TCA rules of origin (0% duty when conditions are met), to JIT deliveries to production lines. We are familiar with OEM and Tier 1 documentation requirements.

Coventry also carries the legacy of the UK City of Culture title — we handle imports of cultural goods and event equipment.

Customs Agency Coventry — clearance for West Midlands businesses

Coventry sits at the heart of the West Midlands, around 100 km from the ports of Felixstowe and Tilbury. Trade with Poland most often arrives via Felixstowe (containers) or Dover/Eurotunnel (RoRo). The city has a strong automotive and electronics base (historically Jaguar Land Rover) — typical goods are vehicle components, electronic sub-assemblies and tools. As an inland city, Coventry has no border post; clearance runs digitally through CDS with clearance taking place at the port of entry.

  • CDS import clearance — declarations before a container arrives at Felixstowe or a tractor unit reaches Dover
  • Automotive supply chain — parts classification (CN 84–87), dual-use licences, AEO
  • EORI and rules of origin — support implementing the TCA (UK–EU)
  • Suspensive procedures and customs warehousing — customs warehouse, T2 transit
