Core Services

Sekida’s Virtual Trading Services provide a faster, simpler route to the UK market

Importer of Record (IOR) Services

Entering the UK market requires businesses to comply with a complex range of customs, VAT and regulatory obligations. As your legal Importer of Record, Sekida assumes responsibility for customs declarations, compliance requirements, duty and VAT payments, and regulatory approvals. We manage the administrative burden and provide ongoing liaison with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), ensuring goods are imported efficiently, compliantly and without unnecessary delays.

Customs Clearance & Freight Management

We provide seamless customs clearance and freight coordination services that ensure goods move smoothly across borders and into the UK market. By managing customs procedures, shipping documentation and regulatory requirements, we minimise delays, reduce administrative complexity and enhance supply chain efficiency. Our integrated approach provides full visibility throughout the journey, helping businesses maintain control while reducing risk and cost.

UK Virtual Office & Representation

Establish a professional UK presence without the expense and commitment of physical infrastructure. Sekida provides a registered UK business address together with professional mail handling and communication services, enabling businesses to operate with credibility and confidence in the UK market while remaining headquartered overseas.

Integrated Trade & Compliance Solutions

Navigate complex cross-border trade requirements with confidence

Sekida provides a fully integrated trade and compliance solution, acting as the trusted intermediary between overseas exporters and UK authorities. By combining customs expertise, regulatory compliance and commercial insight, we help businesses navigate complex cross-border trade requirements with confidence.

Our approach ensures accurate and compliant declaration of goods, confidential management of commercial values, optimisation of duty and VAT liabilities within legal frameworks, and structured, transparent transactions throughout the supply chain. By taking responsibility for these critical processes, we reduce risk, improve efficiency and enable seamless access to the UK market.

As the Importer of Record, Sekida assumes legal responsibility for imported goods during customs clearance and appears on all official import documentation. This provides exporters with the assurance that compliance obligations are being managed by experienced specialists while maintaining complete transparency throughout the import process.
