The new Border Control Posts (BCP) in Immingham became operational from 30th April 2024. As per HMRC guidelines, this will result in additional charges for Import cargo and operational changes for customs processes on Import cargo.
IMPORTS to UK – Port Infrastructure Charges
“ABP (Associated British Ports) has constructed two Border Control Posts, at Hull and lmmingham, which meet the high degree of specification required by the statutory bodies that will be operating within them. Unlike many other ports, Trading Standards, Food Standards Agency, Forestry Commission & Border Force will also be accommodated alongside Port Health and Animal Plant Health Authority (APHA), in these facilities. All BCP's will be staffed by Government inspectors undertaking checks and inspections; ABP staff will manage the facility on behalf of the various statutory bodies.
In order to recover our expenditure and the considerable ongoing running costs and maintenance of these facilities, we will be introducing a new Port BCP Infrastructure charge as outlined below:
• All import laden containers and trailers (of any type) will be levied a charge of £12.72 per unit.
• The charge will be reviewed annually, considering laden container and trailer volumes, and associated running costs of the two facilities.
• Additional charges, as may be applicable, are shown below. This is not an exhaustive
list, and ABP reserve the right to review on a case-by-case basis.”
The full letter from ABP dated 11th of April 2024 is enclosed to this message along with their fees. (ABP BCP FEES).

IMPORTS to UK - Physical SPS Checks - Port Health
Port Health will start to conduct physical checks on a selection of medium and high risk SPS goods entering the UK.

Due to the location of the BCP, which is just outside the gated area of Immingham Port, this movement will have to be facilitated by Ntex.
