Customs
Your Trusted Partner for Customs Clearance
With extensive in-house expertise, Simpex provides seamless end-to-end Customs services.
In 2019, in anticipation of Brexit, Simpex acquired Samphire Customs, an established customs clearance agent based in Dover. This collaboration laid the foundation for efficiently managing the demand for customs declarations on UK-EU and EU-UK freight.
To further enhance our logistical and customs capabilities, in 2024, Samphire France opened in Lesquin, near Lille. With strategically located offices operating on both sides of the Channel, this expansion enables a fast response to all customs processing needs, which streamlines transit times.
- Customs export documentation: EADs and T1s

Driving Success Across Borders
By having a dedicated customs clearance agent within our group, we ensure that our clients’ cargo receives top priority, consolidating the process to provide a smooth service from start to finish.
This approach allows us to manage complex customs procedures with efficiency and reducing delays.
Smart Border with Regime 40 and 42
To help reduce delays in your supply chain, the EU frontier Smart Border with Regime 40 and Regime 42, specifically in Calais, Eurotunnel or Dunkerque port, is particularly beneficial to businesses looking to accelerate their cross-border shipments.
By deferring the payment of import VAT, this fast-tracks the customs clearance process allowing vehicles to pass through Europe without friction.
AEO (UK Authorised Economic Operator)
Samphire secured their AEO status in 2019, demonstrating their commitment to streamlined customs processing with enhanced security for importers & exporters.
This accreditation, coupled with continued investments in staff training/retention and cutting-edge technology, Simpex is able to deliver seamless logistics with integrated customs solutions.
