OUR SERVICES

Clearance for your goods. Expertise for your business.

From a single import declaration to your complete customs administration, one team with in-depth customs and compliance knowledge.

A · Customs Clearance B · Customs Consultancy C · Administrative Services
A · CLEARANCE

Customs Clearance

All goods entering or leaving a customs territory need a declaration, and the goods must be ready to present. Declaring can mean paying duties, VAT and other charges, such as fees for a physical inspection. We handle the declaration and everything around it.

Import

IM

Goods arriving from a third country with the EU as final destination must be declared for import. A skilled expert guides you through the whole procedure to avoid mistakes, and we can arrange pre-payment of customs duties and VAT.

Export

EX

Goods leaving the EU for a third country must be declared before they exit. Beyond the legal obligation, the export declaration is your proof that the goods physically left the EU, which you need to apply the 0% VAT rate.

Transit

T1 · T2

When import isn't (yet) the goal: goods stored under bonded status or moved to another EU destination need a T1. Goods in free circulation going to an NCTS country such as Switzerland need a T2.

We alert you before documents expire, so you avoid customs investigations, unnecessary duties and penalties.

VAT

Fiscal Representation

For foreign entrepreneurs and companies importing into the Netherlands.

We represent you

We act as your fiscal representative for Dutch VAT, such as the VAT due on import, including the administrative tasks that come with it.

Better liquidity

Not pre-financing import VAT gives you an important liquidity and financing advantage.

Set up right

The Tax and Customs Administration only grants the licence when it can properly check the foreign company. We help you set up that administration.

AIR · NOA

Airfreight Services

Notification of Arrival (NOA) for air cargo.

When an air shipment lands, the goods have to be reported to customs and the right parties need to know they've arrived before clearance and pickup can start. With our Notification of Arrival service, we notify you and your logistics partners as soon as your cargo has arrived, together with the shipment details needed to arrange customs clearance and onward transport. Your goods move on quickly, without avoidable waiting time or storage costs at the airport.

01
Cargo arrives

Your air shipment lands and is registered.

02

We send the Notification of Arrival with the shipment details.

03
Cleared & collected

Clearance and pickup start straight away.
