Based at Portsmouth International Port, the company benefits from direct access to the UK motorway network and operates close to major shipping channels, offering efficient cargo handling and logistics solutions from ship to shore and beyond.

Portico Logistics provides professional customs clearance services for both import and export shipments across the UK. Their experienced customs agents assist businesses with navigating complex customs procedures, regulatory requirements, and documentation for goods moving internationally.

Whether handling aircraft parts, fresh produce, textiles, medical supplies, or general cargo, the team offers expert advice on customs regimes, duty and tax requirements, and preferential trade arrangements. Their nationwide coverage allows businesses to clear goods efficiently at all UK ports and airports.

As an accredited HMRC customs agent, Portico Logistics can submit export declarations through systems such as NES and NCTS, as well as manage customs duty payments on behalf of clients with enhanced deferment capabilities.

The company was also among the early adopters of IPAFFS, the UK government system replacing PEACH and TRACES for import notifications, ensuring readiness for evolving border control systems.

In addition to customs brokerage, Portico Logistics offers freight forwarding, warehousing, transport services, and cargo handling through its deep-water terminal facilities.
