Customs clearance Hull — gateway for Polish imports
Port of Hull (King George Dock) is one of the points of entry into the UK for Polish businesses. P&O Ferries operates the Hull–Rotterdam (Europoort) RoRo route from here; the operator publishes the current timetable and crossing time. Trailers carrying goods from Poland — including furniture, food and car parts — enter the UK through the port, and its proximity to the M62 makes onward distribution easier. Imports of food, plants and animal products are subject to sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) checks — IPAFFS pre-notification and the required documents must be ready before dispatch, and where a check takes place depends on the type of goods. We will send you a list of the documents needed before you ship.
Goods travelling to the UK from the EU also need a safety and security declaration (ENS, Safety and Security GB) — for ro-ro ferries it must be submitted at least 2 hours before the ferry arrives at the UK port. The differences are explained in Safety and Security GB ENS or ICS2, and checking the status of a GMR is covered in How to check GMR status in GVMS.

Frequently asked questions
Does Easy Clearance handle GMR for ferries from Hull?
Yes, we prepare GMR numbers for Hull–Rotterdam ferry crossings. Just send us the MRN of your customs declarations and the lorry's registration number.
What's the latest I can send documents to make a ferry from Hull?
Check sailing times in the operator's timetable. The GMR must be ready before the vehicle arrives at the port, so send your documents as early as possible — ideally the day before sailing. GMR rules — GOV.UK.
How much does customs handling of one HGV via Hull cost?
The price depends on the type of goods, the number of tariff lines and the scope of service, so we quote individually once we have your documents. General information on costs is on How much does UK customs clearance cost.
Do you handle a regular weekly line of HGVs via Hull?
Yes, we also handle regular, recurring movements. Terms are agreed individually — get in touch for a quote.
If goods enter via Hull, do they have to be cleared there?
Not always. For example, goods moving under transit (NCTS) can end transit at an inland office of destination or at an authorised consignee's premises and be cleared for import there. The right option depends on the goods and the route — we can advise before shipping.
