Payment Arrangements for Non-Credit Import Customers

Customers are advised that, with immediate effect, import containers will only be released or delivered upon receipt of cleared funds.

Whilst our preferred method of payment is bank transfer, we can accept GBP payments by cheque, subject to cleared funds being available in our account prior to release or delivery. You should allow 7 working days for cheques to clear, per the Cheque Clearing Cycle.

All payments in foreign currency must be made by bank transfer. Please forward remittance advices by email to our Import Payment Team. 

Non-credit import customers who require urgent delivery or release and are unable to wait for cheques to clear are instead encouraged to consider using the Faster Payments Service; this is now offered by most banks as a quick, low cost alternative to CHAPS/BACS.
