Customs Support, the #1 neutral and digital partner for customs declarations in Europe, announces the acquisition of TullXperten. This acquisition marks Customs Support’s further expansion in the Nordics and is another successful step of its ambition to become the leading customs partner for clients across Europe.

We live in an exciting and challenging time. The pandemic has changed the world as we know it, and while things are slowly returning to how they were, some changes are here to stay.

When you import goods into the European Union, you need to pay import duties. In some cases, this can be a preferential rate, meaning a lower rate or even a 0% rate. In some cases, you also have to pay anti-dumping duties.

About a year ago we added GOC Rotterdam to the Customs Support family. Until recently they operated under the GOC name, but now that they have successfully integrated they will continue as Customs Support Safety as of January 1st, 2022.

Being part of a supply chain with authorized economic operators means being part of a reliable supply chain. For more and more companies it is becoming a requirement rather than a preference. 

In our series #WeAreCustomsSupport, you will meet the people behind Customs Support. We value our colleagues and the work they do.

When you operate internationally and ship goods from or to the European Union, you face customs rules, regulations and procedures. Whether you are an importer or an exporter, you need to be compliant. But what happens when there is a change in procedures or regulations, and this change impacts your business?

There are different ways in which companies can drive down cost. One of them is increasing your loads to minimize empty kilometres. Another way is to benefit from the knowledge of customs specialists from Customs Support. Both companies will help you tackle inefficient logistics and waiting times at borders.

It is essential to comply with all customs rules and regulations. Non-compliance can lead to delays, fines, or even refusal of your shipment. Sometimes the line between compliance and non-compliance is thinner than companies realize. We are seeing an increased number of issues with imported bike parts, where the Customs Authority sees them not as bike parts but as non-assembled bicycles.
