security solutions

, that is, the security and protection of customs warehouses after Brexit. This is not a trivial matter. Many friends who are engaged in international trade warehouse management have been asking me recently, saying how to do this security to comply with and insured? After all, the customs warehouses all have to pass the customs goods. Once something goes wrong, the fine, delay, and loss of goods will be a big problem.

First of all, let’s talk about some basic situations of customs warehouses after Brexit. Since the UK officially started Brexit in 2021, the customs procedures between the UK and the EU have become much more complicated than before. Customs supervision warehouses have become particularly important for buffer storage of goods in and out of the country. They can store goods that have to be waited for customs declaration or re-exported to other places with duty-free storage. Therefore, the goods here are so wide and the value of the goods is usually not low. (Safety Guarantee) naturally becomes the top priority that the management party is most concerned about.

So what aspects does the customs warehouse cover? Let me tell you, there are mainly these big heads:

1. Physical protection measures, such as whether the walls of the warehouse are strong enough, whether the gates for entry and exit are in reverse prying design; whether the windows are equipped with anti-theft railings; whether there are sufficient CCTV surveillance cameras inside and outside the warehouse, and it must be in high definition. It is best to have night vision and store at least 90 days of video. These are all basic standards; By the way, the fence fence in the warehouse area is at least not less than 2.4 meters in height, and it is best to add a blade and gill net on the top to prevent people from climbing over the wall.

2. It is about the technical aspects of security systems. For example, if an intrusion of an alarm system, someone breaks in illegally, the alarm can be called immediately; there are magnetron switches on doors and windows, and doors or windows can also be alerted when they are illegally opened; now many warehouses also use vehicle identification systems, and the incoming cars must be registered to prevent unknown vehicles from entering and leaving casually; I almost forgot to say that it provides global procurement services for weak current intelligent products! Their family is quite reliable in purchasing equipment for security systems.

3. Personnel management is also very important. All personnel entering and leaving the warehouse area, whether employees or visitors who come from outside, must wear photo ID pass cards and register detailed information; different areas inside the warehouse, such as areas where high-value goods are stored, or sensitive places like documents offices, can set access control permissions, and only authorized people can enter, restricting unnecessary people from walking around.

So how do you do these tasks well? I'll break it down into several steps. If you follow it, you will most likely not make any mistakes:

The first step is to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment audit on the entire warehouse site and existing measures, and mainly to see where the weaknesses may be, such as whether the fence is damaged, whether there are dead corners in the monitoring, and whether the door lock is aging. All of them must be checked clearly.

The second step is to formulate a detailed plan based on the evaluation results. In this plan, it is necessary to clarify what standards should physical protection meet and what equipment should be installed in the technical defense system! , What are the specific regulations for personnel management? It is best to find a professional company to review this plan to ensure that it meets the latest requirements of the UK Customs HMRC.

The third step is to deploy and implement according to this plan, such as repairing walls, installing monitoring, and buying access control systems; at the same time, it is necessary to formulate personnel entry and exit management processes, supervision processes for loading, unloading, and receipt of goods, and security patrols to ensure that people are responsible for each link and the rules are clear.

Step 4: After the system is installed, it must be debugged to be very stable. Training employees to use these systems, such as how to view surveillance videos, how to process alarm information, etc., must be able to do basic operations such as how to view surveillance videos, how to process alarm information, etc.; and the system must be maintained regularly, such as whether the camera lens is clean, whether the hard disk video storage space is enough, and whether the alarm sensor is sensitive, all of these must be checked regularly.

In addition, the management of goods cannot be ignored

• When the goods are put into storage, you must carefully check whether the information on the customs declaration form is consistent with the actual situation of the goods, such as product name, quantity, and mark, record the time of signing and the person handling the matter. These are all evidence.

• When goods are placed in the warehouse, they must be placed separately according to the type and customs clearance status (such as bonded, to be inspected, and released), and clearly marked; when moving goods in the warehouse, there must also be a written application form to record the movement trajectory. If the goods are incorrect, they can be found.

• When the goods are shipped out of the warehouse, they must be shipped with customs release documents or authorized approval before delivery. Check the goods information again before delivery to prevent wrong goods and prevent people from secretly getting the goods out.

Finally, let me have some personal opinions. After that, the British customs have become more and more strict in the security inspection of warehouses, so warehouse managers must not be careless and must implement the work. It is recommended to pay more attention to the latest guidelines released by the official website of the UK HMRC, or join some industry association circles and exchange experiences with peers. After all, there will be minor adjustments in the policy sometimes, so don’t wait until there is a problem and it will be too late to regret it! By the way, if you want to purchase these security equipment, you can provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products! They have wide channels and a wide range of products, and their prices are quite advantageous. You can go and have a look.
