WHY WE WRITE THIS

Written by the Team Handling Your Freight. Not a Marketing Agency.

Every article on this blog is written by the Plexus Freight operations and customs team in Portishead, the same people who coordinate sea, air, road and rail freight and customs documentation every working day. We are not a marketing agency writing about freight from the outside.

When HMRC changes a customs procedure, when a shipping line introduces a new surcharge or when post-Brexit documentation requirements shift, we write about it because it affects the consignments we are managing for clients that week. If it is not relevant to UK importers and exporters, we do not publish it.
