Hairsines Customs Clearance in their element, selling at antiques fairs

Hairsines Customs Clearance Press Release – March 2022

Hairsines Customs Clearance offers much more than support on Brexit. Quarried from a blend of international trade fairs, street brocantes, vide greniers, flea markets and private collectors, HAIRSINES’ sells unique stock which aspires to an exquisite aesthetic: 

…the timeless beauty of age-worn materials…

Antiques Dealers Surviving the Brexit Blow

Brexit hit the antiques trade incredibly hard: almost overnight, EU-based dealers stopped attending the international antique fairs in the UK, while UK-based antique dealers – many of whom are sole traders – felt beaten by the complexity and increased cost of new legal customs procedures.
While a handful of dealers may have quit the trade, others have sought help – not just in the form of an agent to process their customs clearance, but a source of relevant and accurate information on how to import goods.

Hairsines Customs Clearance Training to help the Industry Thrive

The end of ‘free movement of goods’ between the EU and the UK did not signal the end of trade for seasoned antique dealer and IoE member, Kevin Hairsine. In response to Brexit’s hammer blow to the antiques trade, Kevin trained as a customs agent with the UK Customs Academy.

Achieving distinction in Levels 2 and 3, together with his wife, Jenni, he launched HAIRSINESCustomsClearance.com – a customs agent with advisory service – aimed specifically at the antiques and vintage trade.

Indulge in Hairsines products for sale at iacf antiques fairs. You can find them at all our major antiques fairs! If you want to find decorative antiques for your home, then make sure to book tickets today for an upcoming antiques fair near you!


Customs Agent: processing UK imports, UK exports and GMRs.

Advisory Service: 20-page ‘Dealers’ Guide’ including clear explanations of the import and export process; unlimited Q&A email service; introduction to an EU-based agent (to process EU exports); supply of useful templates. Email Kevin and Jenni today: office@HAIRSINESCustomsClearance.com for more information / a price list / account opening forms.
