Letters of Credit

We offer a range of Letter of Credit services – from preparing and checking compliant documents, to fully setting up a Letter of Credit and managing the entire process on your behalf through to payment.

Customs Clearance

Whether you’re exporting or importing, customs clearance is an essential process at the UK border. We can arrange customs clearance documents, as well as transit documents, to ensure smooth passage.

International Shipping

We provide competitive international shipping solutions for both exports and imports. From pickup to delivery, we manage the entire process, whether using freight or couriers, and can produce supporting documentation if needed.

Shipping Documentation

Whether you need an ATA Carnet for a temporary export, or an attested Certificate of Origin, we can arrange a wide array of trade documents to keep your shipments moving.

Certain goods, technology, or software may require export licenses. We’ll identify any applicable controls and manage the license application or registration process on your behalf.

“Access to Export (ATE) has been an invaluable partner to Paragraf for over five years, providing timely, thorough, and expert support across all our import and export activities. Their advice has given us the confidence to navigate complex global operations, from applying for export licenses with dual-use implications to determining the most suitable INCO terms and commodity codes. We consider ATE our trusted go-to export experts and would confidently recommend them to others.

As a rapidly growing technology company exporting both final products and R&D materials, we face unique logistical and regulatory challenges.
