Customs

Relieve the burden on your company with our comprehensive customs services!

We offer NCTS shipping (T-1) for road and rail, import clearance for free circulation, export declarations (AES) and electronic export monitoring in export.

The NCTS transit system (T-1) is used for cross-border transportation of goods by road and rail. It enables import clearance for free circulation and the preparation of export declarations (AES). This involves electronic export monitoring in the export process.

The procedure serves the efficient handling of goods traffic and facilitates customs clearance and clearance of their goods for the transport companies. With the NCTS shipping process, the flow of goods can be handled more quickly and easily, which helps to increase efficiency and competitiveness. Electronic monitoring can prevent delays and losses of goods, which overall contributes to a smooth flow of goods.

In addition, you receive valuable ancillary services such as coordination, cost allocation and transportation services for customs inspection, CPA (SCAN), change of custodian and veterinary inspection. Benefit from our expertise and optimize your logistics processes with our efficient and reliable services.
