We act for our customers in the outsourcing of logistical services.   The processing of cross-border movements of goods involves the observance of a multitude of procedural legal regulations under the Customs Code (European law). In addition, national law (including the German VAT Act or UStG) must also be complied with.   Knowledge of the regulations concerning customs and foreign trade is therefore indispensable in clearance of the cross-border transportation of goods. Only those who are familiar with the intricacies and routines of the various customs regulations and can apply these with confidence can guarantee that these matters are handled in accordance with the law. With us you are always up to date with relevant, technical developments at flexible and competitive cost.   In carrying out our services we can always call on IT systems (where technically possible) such as ATLAS, NCTS, EGDAT and ZAPP. This enables us to offer you the highest possible quality at the current time in the clearance of your goods (speed, methods of communication, waiting times, document despatch, etc.).
