Donald J. Trump, Economic Club of Chicago, 15 October 2024

We would not call it beautiful. But we do know our way around it.

What we need for your customs clearance

Send us the documents in advance — then the declaration is ready before the goods arrive.

Import

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Transport documents — AWB, B/L or CMR
  • Your EORI number
  • Preference or origin certificate, if available
  • Once only: a power of attorney for us
  • Tariff code — none yet? We help with the classification; the decision is always made together with you.

Export

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • EORI number and consignee details
  • Goods description
  • For goods subject to licensing, e.g. dual-use: the export licence
  • We file the export declaration via ATLAS
  • Tariff code — here too, we agree the classification with you.
We prepare for you: Export declaration (ATLAS)T1 transit documentEUR.1A.TRT2L Release for free circulationReturned goods
What authorised consignee status means for your imports Your import goods do not have to be presented at the customs office — they come straight to us and are cleared here, even outside the customs office's opening hours. That saves detours, waiting time and demurrage.
