Whether importing raw materials or exporting finished products, you benefit from the confidence of working with a single local point of contact.

We manage everything from individual pallet imports and international groupage shipments to urgent express deliveries for factory samples or critical stock replenishments.
At Mail Boxes Etc., we act as your international trade department, providing comprehensive solutions that address the key challenges of import and export operations.
Benefits of managing international trade with a specialist import and export partner:
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.
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.
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.
At Mail Boxes Etc., we integrate exclusive solutions designed to provide maximum security, cost control, and protection for your company’s import and export operations:
At MBE, we don’t leave you alone in front of a screen. Our customs consultants are available to support you throughout the entire process. Our experts will provide a transparent and accurate quotation, with no hidden surprises at the border.
For critical shipments, industrial components, or high-value finished products, we link your shipments to our exclusive MBE SafeValue service, which covers not only the actual value of the item but also transportation and packaging costs in the event of loss or damage.
Goods are often rejected by customs due to inadequate packaging or non-compliance with international regulations. At our centres, we specialise in custom packaging, using high-strength materials specifically designed for long-distance transportation to ensure your cargo travels fully protected.
