Introduction
Exporting goods from the UK is now a layered process involving compliance, customs systems, and third-party brokers. But just because it’s more complex doesn’t mean it has to be expensive.
In this guide, we break down the cheapest way to file a UK export declaration—without compromising on speed, accuracy, or compliance.
What Are the Real Costs of Export Declarations?
You may pay for:
- Brokerage fees (€25–€75 per declaration)
- Handling charges
- Hidden “priority” fees for fast turnaround
- Government system access
But most of these can be avoided with the right partner.
How to File Export Declarations at Low Cost
- Use a provider that charges flat rates (not per page or per commodity)
- Submit documents digitally to reduce handling time
- Avoid last-minute filings, which incur extra fees
- Bundle ENS + Export where possible

With Express Declare, export declarations start at just €12, and you can get your export paperwork processed in under 1 hour. We file directly into the UK’s CDS system with full HMRC compliance.
