Import/Export Documentation
Import/export documentation; classification, origin and value; special regimes; sanctions screening, coordinated with specialists.
Customs Clearance
Customs Clearance: customs built into the shipment.
Customs is not a separate step: import/export documents, classification, origin and value are prepared together with the transport. We prepare the documentation in advance to reduce the risk of delays and rework, coordinating customs clearance with partner customs brokers.
The service
Customs as a stage of the shipment
Many delays in international shipments do not arise during transport, but from an incomplete document, a wrong classification or a formality started too late. That is why VECTUM treats customs as a stage of the shipment: invoice, packing list, codes, origin and value are collected and checked when the transport is booked, not when the cargo is already at the port or airport.
Clearance is coordinated with partner customs brokers, while you have one contact who follows documents, timing and communications. The service supports all three areas: Time Critical shipments, where every hour lost in customs eats into the deadline; Global Freight by air, sea and road; and the distribution of goods arriving from outside the EU. For dangerous goods, classification, packaging and documents are checked against the rules of the transport mode before the cargo is handed to the carrier.

FAQ
Are you a customs broker?
We coordinate customs clearance as part of the transport, working with partner customs brokers: you have one contact, and we take care of documents, timing and communication.
Which documents are needed for export?
Usually a commercial invoice, a packing list and the data for the customs declaration; depending on the goods and destination, certificates of origin, licences or DG documents may be needed. We check them with you before departure.
Do you handle dangerous goods (DG)?
Yes, subject to checks: classification, packaging and documentation are verified against the rules of the transport mode (for example IATA for air and ADR for road), with certified partners where required.
Do you handle special customs procedures?
Yes: special procedures and specialist formalities are part of the service, coordinated with our partner customs brokers.
