Updated: 2026-04-20 · Easy Clearance — UK customs broker

This information is general and does not constitute legal or tax advice. For individual cases, please speak to a consultant.

Gliwice is home to the Stellantis/Opel plant (producing the Opel Astra and Astra Electric). This article covers the export of cars (HS 8703) and automotive components (HS 8708) from Gliwice to the UK. The key post-Brexit issue is the TCA Rules of Origin for electric vehicles — from 2027 the requirement is that 55% of EV battery value must originate from the EU/UK; for 2024–2026 the threshold is still 40%.

Internal combustion engine (ICE) cars: typically 0% duty under the TCA if EU origin. UK type approval post-Brexit: the UK Type Approval (UKTA) replaces EU WVTA for new models. The Gliwice–Dover route is approximately 1,500 km, running via Ostrava or Wrocław.

Gliwice is located within the Katowicka Special Economic Zone (KSEZ). Easy Clearance services for the automotive sector include: export customs clearance, EUR.1 preference certificates for TCA compliance, and ENS filing. Clearance fees: from £45 to £120.
