Customs
As logistics experts, we fully understand the impact that delays in border clearances can have on your business. So, we harness our deep expertise, extensive resources, vast networks and strong relationships to make sure your international shipment clears customs and quarantine barriers as smoothly and quickly as possible. Due to our AEO status in The Netherlands, we have the ability to send a pre-clearance to Dutch Customs with a maximum of 30 days before arrival in The Netherland. We will then already know if your shipment will be selected for example for a physical examination or will be immediately released upon arrival.
We can provide our customs and border services in association with our comprehensive range of international freight transport services, as a component of our vessel husbandry services or as part of a fully integrated supply chain solution. We also offer a comprehensive range of warehousing and storage solutions, including bonded warehousing.
Our customs and border management services include:
