Eliminate the Complexity of Customs Procedures

Benefits of managing international trade with a specialist import and export partner:

Fast customs clearance to avoid storage costs

A documentation error can leave your goods held at a port or airport, resulting in costly demurrage charges. We handle the preparation of the Customs Declaration (Single Administrative Document – SAD) and ensure the efficient settlement of duties, tariffs, and VAT.

Accurate tariff classification to avoid penalties

Customs inspections may take place months after your shipment has been received. If customs authorities identify an incorrect classification of your products, your business could face significant fines. We analyse the technical characteristics of your goods to determine the correct HS Code, minimising the risk of physical inspections.

Licensing support and advance documentation management

We provide guidance on obtaining specific permits from regulatory authorities and optimising special customs procedures, reviewing all required documentation well before your goods reach the border.

Frequently Asked Questions
The final cost depends on the value of the goods, the transportation cost, and the HS Code (Harmonized System Code) assigned to the product. Based on these factors, the applicable customs duty rate is calculated, followed by the corresponding import VAT.
To carry out a commercial export legally and efficiently, customs authorities generally require, at a minimum, a detailed commercial invoice (including the agreed Incoterms), a packing list, and the correct HS Code classification for the goods. Depending on the destination country and industry sector (such as food products, cosmetics, or wine), additional requirements may include special licences, certificates of origin, or phytosanitary certificates, all of which must be validated before the goods are shipped.
Yes. This is a common practice among companies that already work with a freight forwarder but need a specialist partner to handle the customs bureaucracy. 
It is a customs procedure that allows foreign goods to be brought into a country with a full or partial exemption from customs duties and VAT, provided that they are re-exported within a specified period and remain unaltered during their stay.
The export of products subject to excise duties requires specific documentation management to justify either the tax exemption or the application of the tax in the destination country. Wineries and distributors need a partner with expertise in the movement control systems governing these goods, as well as local labelling regulations, to ensure that shipments are not held up or penalised by international customs authorities.
