Company Profile


Heathrow Import Clearance Services Limited was established in 1988 and now operates under the trading name of HICS Worldwide. We were one of the first independently owned customs brokers to offer a complete brokerage package for courier, airfreight and seafreight arrivals here in the UK. Our development over the past 18 years has been mainly down to the knowledge and professionalism of the staff who have an accumulation of over 100 years experience within the industry.

We have a full operation seven days a week with constant call out facilities. We are open from 06:00 hours through to 18:00 hours with early closing at 15:00 during the weekends. We have the usual facilities with customs including duty deferment of up to £100,000 per month for payment of duty and/or VAT. We are a member of CASS which gives us account facilities with all major airlines for both import and export movements. Our membership of AICES allows us access to HM Revenue & Customs to discuss new legislation and security issues being introduced.

We have a diverse client base ranging from specialized courier companies that demand speedy clearances, major airlines that have both AOG and high valued avionic parts that we both customs clear and deliver to repair addresses throughout the UK to private importers with “one off” shipments. All of our clients, both large and small, benefit from the very professional and reliable service that is offered here at HICS Worldwide Customs Brokers.
