Whistl Cross Border Solutions secures Transhipment MOU Approval

October 2023

Whistl, the UK's leading logistics specialists in fulfilment, mail and parcels, secured approval from HMRC for its Cross Border Solutions business to operate an MoU Transhipment storage facility at their International Gateway facility at Heathrow. The approval enhances their handling and onward movement capabilities through simplified customs formalities of uncleared goods from third country to third country passing through the UK.

For example, if a customer in the USA has a shipment destined for the UK and EU, Whistl can now clear the UK shipment and complete the clearance and customs requirements for the goods in transit to the EU.

The service will enable eCommerce customers who operate in multiple destinations to save time and money by moving a larger bulk shipment from the original destination into the UK and separating it into smaller shipments for its final destinations.

The Transhipment MOU approval is the latest service from Whistl Cross Border, offering worldwide import and export solutions, including seamless customs clearance and delivery management services for businesses that need to reach their cross-border customers.

We are committed to making the transit of goods internationally as seamless as possible to enable faster delivery times, and most importantly cost effectively. Moving good internationally is complex and it is our job to make that as easy for our customers as possible. Through securing this Transhipment MOU approval, we have an efficient solution for eCommerce customers importing into the UK and the EU.
