C88

Form C88, also referred to as the Single Administrative Document (SAD), is the main customs document used when importing from non-EU countries. The document is essential for customs clearance, as it guarantees adherence to import regulations and aids in the prevention of smuggling and fraud. Businesses can use iCustoms’ UK customs declaration software to accurately file and manage C88-related import documentation.

The C88 form includes the following:

  • Information about importers and exporters
  • Details about goods (weight, value, and quantity)
  • Country of origin and destination country
  • Details of any applicable permits and licences
