Comprehensive Customs Clearance Services
Navigating international trade regulations can be complex, but our Cork team ensures your cargo never sits idle at the border. As an AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) accredited company, we offer a "Green Lane" for your goods, ensuring faster release times and priority treatment.
Our Customs Solutions Include:
• Import & Export Clearance: rapid processing of customs declarations for goods entering or leaving Cork via air or sea.
• AEO Certified Status: Benefit from our trusted status, which guarantees higher security and compliance standards, resulting in fewer physical checks and a faster flow of goods.
• Bonded Warehousing: We offer secure bonded warehousing solutions, allowing you to defer duty and VAT payments until your goods are released into free circulation.
• Complex Documentation: We handle the "heavy lifting" of paperwork, including CVED/CHED Veterinary Health Certificates for food products, Catch Certificates for seafood, and Phytosanitary Certificates for plant origins.
• Brexit & Non-EU Trade: Expert guidance on T1/T2 transit declarations and regulatory compliance for trade with the UK and non-EU nations.
