ETSF (EXTERNAL TEMPORARY STORAGE FACILITIES)
Formerly known as ERTS, PCS operate external temporary storage facilities (ETSF) at the Port of Dover and inland at Kettering, Northamptonshire. The designated areas are approved by HMRC for non-Union goods to be placed in temporary storage ahead of being placed under a customs procedure or re-exported.
Fully compliant with Border Force regulations and linked directly to the UK centralised customs system, the facilities offer a cost effective method of removing consignments that are pending clearance from consolidated goods without incurring additional delays and costs.
