Import & Export
Import and export without surprises
Import and export require accurate declarations and proper alignment with the applicable regulations. Each product has its own commodity code, corresponding import duties, and specific requirements from customs and other authorities. Flevo Trade Service handles these declarations and supports the entire process, with additional focus on the food and fish sectors, where extra inspections or certificates are often required.
The right customs declaration
Goods imported from outside the European Union must be declared to customs. Each flow of goods is classified using a unique commodity code (HS code). Import duties and conditions are linked to this code, and these may vary by product.
The same principle applies to exports outside the EU. Based on the commodity code and the country of destination, customs determines which requirements apply. In some cases, additional documents are required, such as origin documents or certificates.
Flevo Trade Service handles these customs declarations and ensures they are aligned with the product, its origin, and its destination.
Trade with the United Kingdom
Since Brexit, the United Kingdom is no longer part of the European Union. This means that import and export with the UK always involve customs declarations and additional documentation. Flevo Trade Service prepared for this at an early stage and supports import and export flows to and from the United Kingdom in line with current regulations. The correct declarations, documents, and follow-up ensure that shipments are handled properly.
