Inward and Outward Processing Relief
Authorisation Application Service
Inward and Outward Processing Relief Schemes, also known as IPR and OPR, are customs special procedures that allow UK traders to claim relief of duty and/or VAT.
​
Inward Processing Relief allow business to suspend the payment of Duty and/or VAT when importing goods into the UK for process or repair before re-exporting the goods out of the country.
​
Outward Processing Relief allow businesses to claim relief of Duty and/or VAT when re-importing products that were exported for process or repair overseas. ​
​
While businesses can use the above schemes up to 3 times a year with an Authorisation by Declaration, a full authorisation is required for regular use of the schemes.
Both schemes’ application process consists of a couple of forms to be completed and our award-winning International Trade Team can support you in the full process.​
