Merchandise in Baggage
MIB hand-carried deliveries, managed from start to finish
UK’s Leading MIB Specialists
Merchandise in Baggage (MIB)
(MIB) allows commercial goods to travel with a passenger rather than moving through standard freight channels.
Our experienced team will take care of customs declaration and compliance for you, ensuring smooth clearance of commercial goods on arrival. This will enable your dedicated courier to accompany the shipment throughout its journey with no delays.
This approach is typically used when timing is fixed, goods are high-value, or standard routing introduces too much uncertainty.
We are more than happy to provide any guidance you need to arrange an MIB movement
When more than standard freight is required
MIB is typically selected when goods are:
- Time-critical
- High-value
- Sensitive or irreplaceable
- Required for events, production, or retail deadlines
- Moving under tight operational constraints
Movements may be permanent or temporary depending on the shipment requirements.
Commercial goods carried in accompanied baggage must be declared through the Red Channel on arrival, so our team prepares documentation in advance to ensure clearance runs smoothly.
If timing, visibility, or certainty are essential, hand-carried delivery provides the highest level of control available.
Experience where it matters most
MIB depends on knowledge as much as speed.
Our team works closely with customs teams, and on-the-ground partners to keep movements progressing smoothly through environments where small delays can become major problems.
Our experience is what allows us to stay calm and decisive when timelines are tight.
Our MIB Process
MIB applies to goods carried for business use rather than personal belongings.
We prepare the documentation required before travel so shipments can be declared correctly on arrival and cleared without unnecessary delay.
Because MIB sits within our wider freight and customs capability, we can support the full movement around it.
This may include:
- Customs preparation and clearance
- Coordination with partners at origin or destination
- Onward delivery planning
Clients benefit from a single point of responsibility throughout the process.
