HMRC Introduces Voluntary Clearance Amendment Process for Import Underpayments

Importers can now voluntarily disclose customs duty or import tax underpayments to HMRC through a dedicated amendment process. This scheme allows businesses to correct errors on import declarations without facing enforcement action, provided the underpayment is reported before HMRC identifies it. The process applies to goods brought into the UK where the original customs clearance involved insufficient duty or tax payments.
