Import & export
Import and export without unnecessary delays
Moving goods into or out of the EU? We prepare your customs declaration and check in advance whether the commodity code, invoice and packing list match your shipment. We investigate any missing information or discrepancies before submitting the declaration. This helps limit corrections afterwards.
These errors delay your shipments
Your invoice is missing information, your packing list is incomplete or the documents contain different details. As a result, customs cannot process your declaration properly and you need to provide additional information.
You may pay too much or too little in import duties. It may also later become clear that additional documents or inspections were required. You then need to correct the declaration while your shipment is already in transit or waiting.
You use a commodity code that does not properly match the product. This code determines which import duties, conditions and inspections apply. One incorrect choice can therefore affect the entire declaration.

During the handling process, you discover that a certificate, permit or additional document is missing. This may include proof of origin, veterinary certificates or phytosanitary documents. Without the correct documentation, the process cannot continue.
Your inspection cannot proceed, your goods remain on hold or you still need to obtain the required approval. With fresh, refrigerated or time-sensitive products, the risk increases quickly. Every additional day counts.

You need to determine which information is correct and resubmit the documents. In the meantime, your carrier, driver or container is waiting. This means one administrative discrepancy can disrupt your entire planning.
Import and export without surprises
Import and export require correct declarations and proper alignment with the applicable regulations. Every product has its own commodity code, associated import duties and specific requirements from Customs and other authorities. Flevo Trade Service handles these declarations and supports the full process, with extra attention to the food and fish sector, where additional inspections or certificates may be required.
The right declaration
Goods imported from outside the European Union must be declared to Customs. Every goods flow is classified with a unique commodity code, the HS code. This code is linked to import duties and conditions, which may differ per product.
The same principle applies to export 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 align with the product, origin and 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 right declarations, documents and follow-up ensure that shipments are handled correctly.
