What the Plugin Does
1. Built-In Import Checklist
A clean, one-page checklist inside WooCommerce that tracks:
- ✅ EORI number status
- ✅ Commodity code knowledge
- ✅ Duty and VAT awareness
- ✅ Commercial invoice readiness
- ✅ Packing list readiness
- ✅ Incoterms agreement
- ✅ Freight booking status
2. Smart Guidance
Answer a few questions and get instant, contextual next steps. Missing a commodity code? We’ll link you straight to the GOV.UK Trade Tariff. No EORI? We’ll show you where to apply.
3. One-Click Quote Request
When you’re ready (or even if you’re not quite sure), hit “Request Carrgo Quote” and get a freight + customs clearance estimate in under 2 minutes.
What’s Included

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this plugin really free?
Yes. The checklist plugin is 100% free. We offer freight and customs services if you choose to request a quote, but the plugin itself costs nothing.
When will it be available on WordPress.org?
The plugin is launching soon on WordPress.org and is not yet listed. Email support@carrgo.co.uk to be notified at launch or to request a copy ahead of launch.
Will this slow down my store?
No. The plugin only loads code inside the WordPress admin area. There is zero impact on your storefront or checkout speed.
Do you collect any data?
No. Your checklist answers are stored locally in your WordPress database. We do not collect or transmit any store data unless you explicitly click "Request Carrgo Quote" and fill out our quote form.
Can I suggest new checklist items?
Absolutely. Email us at support@carrgo.co.uk — we read every suggestion.
Does this calculate duty and VAT for me?
Not directly. We link you to the official GOV.UK Trade Tariff tool (https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff), which is the authoritative source. If you need help classifying your goods, request a Carrgo quote and our customs team can assist.
