EXPORT AND CUSTOMS PROCEDURES MANAGEMENT

Introduction

International trade is more than just moving goods from one country to another. You have to make sure you're following a myriad of import/export regulations or face delays in shipping, delays in getting in paid, and/or significant penalties for non-compliance. Sound hard? It doesn't have to be... Major changes are taking place concerning Customs, Authorised Economic Operator approval requirements covering all parts of the EU supply chain, where lack of approval is very likely to encounter delays by Customs.
