Case Study: UK Recycled Paper Tubes Company achieves rapid customs declarations and keeps imports flowing post‑Brexit with KlearNow

KlearNow enables Recycled Paper Tubes company to keep goods flowing in post-brexit using AI technology

UK Recycled Paper Tubes Company, a Selby-based manufacturer of cardboard tubes made from 100% recycled paper that imports around 50% of its raw materials from Asia, the Middle East and the EU, faced a surge in customs paperwork after Brexit. With pre-lodgment soon required before trucks boarded ferries, they needed a fast, reliable way to submit declarations and keep goods flowing. KlearNow was engaged to address these challenges using its AI-enabled customs automation platform and portal.

KlearNow implemented an automated portal and document workflow so customs paperwork appears online, status can be checked 24/7, and declarations can be submitted in a controlled way. As a result of KlearNow’s solution, the company moved from lengthy delays to completing declarations within a few hours of sending documentation, achieved the timely pre-lodgment readiness needed for July 2021, and gained real-time visibility to track shipments and obtain the documents required for VAT and accounting.
