CUSTOMS CLEARANCE


Customs procedures are a very important part of the supply chain, as all goods exported from and imported into Spain must go through customs.

A good approach can not only save critical time but can also optimise the process from a financial point of view, with a detailed study.

Hire our customs brokerage service and optimise the customs and tax aspects of your commercial operations.

GOODS INSURANCE


All goods are susceptible to problems arising from unforeseen circumstances or accidents, anything from a minor breakage to the complete disappearance of the goods. Therefore, as well as selecting the most suitable packaging and packing for the cargo, it is always advisable to insure the goods.

Insurance generally only covers damage that goods may suffer from their dispatch at origin to their delivery, including loading and unloading, handling and possible transfers from one means of transport to another during transportation.

SHIPPING COMPANY IN COLOMBIA

Import and export to and from Colombia

International shipments are subject to customs and tax regulations which depend on the countries involved and must always be taken into account. Depending on the Incoterms under which the operation is carried out, the exporter has to deliver the goods to a particular place so that they may be collected by the importer. Therefore, the obligations of the exporter do not always end, nor do those of the importer always begin, when the goods arrive at the port of destination.

The seller acts as the exporter or shipper and the buyer acts as the importer or consignee.

  • INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT

  • ARRANGEMENTS AT DESTINATION

    If the agreed Incoterms require actions at destination, we have our own offices and a wide network of agents around the world to make the necessary arrangements in the destination country from origin.

IMPORT BY SEA

“Import by sea is the introduction of products from a third country into another country by ship.”

  • ROUTING ORDER

    If the import is controlled from destination, issuance of the routing order or instructions for the forwarder at origin on coordination with the exporter, and management of the shipment.
