Welcome to our new site
Welcome to our new site to assist University of Cambridge staff involved with the international movement of goods (imports and exports) and the sale and purchase of services to overseas organisations and individuals.
Our new Import Export Hub aims to better support Departments and bring together existing pockets of expertise within the University, leading to greater shared knowledge and experience in dealing with this complex area.
Import Export Hub
The Import Export Hub is here to support University of Cambridge Departments to follow best practice with International movements of physical goods; improving import & export compliance, managing tax liabilities and assisting with customs clearance instructions.

- customs clearance
