Trafertir is an authorised ETSF operator (previously known as ERTS.) This is an inland clearance area that has been approved by Border Force. Customs controlled goods can be transferred from the port of arrival to our temporary storage facility pending customs clearance to avoid unnecessary delays or quay rent charges.
Our ETSF facility is located at Basildon, Essex which is only 15 minutes from both London Gateway and Tilbury ports, this makes Trafertir the ideal solution for both NVOCC and LCL operators who require a local solution at competitive prices whilst avoiding unnecessary quay rent and demurrage.
In conjunction with our in-house Customs Clearance team, our import vehicles are fast-tracked through the UK ports directly to or from our ETSF (Customs Warehouse Facility) for unloading, where in house import customs clearance team will customs clear goods and arrange next day delivery via our own transport network.

Trafertir offer a customs ‘bonded’ warehouse solution for importers that wish to import and hold goods in storage whilst duty and VAT is suspended. This provides a cash flow benefit for the importers as import taxes are only paid once the goods are dispatched from the customs warehouse.
Trafertir also have a CFSP facility, allowing simplified declarations to be made for goods placed into the customs warehouse procedure. This can speed up the clearance process because a reduced data set is required to move goods from the entry port to the warehouse.
