Urgent food shipment, off the terminal within 48 to 72 hours

On an urgent shipment several things have to be arranged at once. We request release from the carrier, have the direct representation authorisation and, where needed, the limited fiscal representation set up through our customs broker, have the declaration filed and line up the onward transport. Because those steps run alongside each other, the container does not wait for one step to finish before the next begins.

The result

From notification to a container on chassis within 48 to 72 hours, inside the free days.
