The type of customs clearance and the type of customs declaration depend on the nature of the clearance procedure. A customs clearance procedure, known as a standard procedure, implies that the importation or exportation of goods is declared on a permanent basis. However, a large number of customs clearance procedures relate to special procedures. These include transit procedures, which precede customs clearance or other special procedures, temporary admission, customs warehousing, end-use procedures, and processing. If customs clearance is carried out under a special procedure, a follow-up procedure must be anticipated by the importer, exporter, and customs clearance service provider. In the majority of cases, customs clearance services are carried out by agents based on direct representation. This signifies that although the import clearance agent enters data into the declaration on behalf of the declarant and submits the declaration, the importer is deemed to be the declarant.

This significant paradigm shift has given birth to an entirely new and thriving market for customs clearance services, with an array of beneficial implications that have largely contributed to its accelerated success. Historically, when the UK enjoyed the benefits of being part of the EU customs territory, the free movement of goods was a given. The most prevalent system of customs clearance for goods imported from third countries revolved around the concept of temporary storage. This meant that goods were required to be included in the inventory of a designated customs location prior to being permitted for release. However, the formidable task of managing cross-border trade in the aftermath of Brexit necessitated the formulation of a new,
