A consignment routed through the bonded warehouse qualifies for expedited clearance only when its declared value remains under the customs threshold and its documentation has been pre-validated. While earlier tariff schedules cited a lower figure, the customs threshold currently applied at this port is twelve thousand pounds. The Rotterdam consignment, which the brokerage processed on arrival, carried a declared value of nine thousand pounds, and its documentation had already been pre-validated by the customs liaison. The inspection bay, regardless of which consignment is queued, remains open continuously throughout the working week.
