IMPORT/EXPORT DOCUMENTS

Import or export declarations or transit declarations are one of the most common services in our profession. Our experts prepare documents on a daily basis via specialized systems which are often in direct contact with the relevant customs officer. Because we work via fixed business operations, making mistakes is a thing of the past and speed is of paramount importance to us

In our rapidly changing world of logistics, it is almost impossible to keep up with all those regulations. That is why we teamed up with PF Douane years ago so that we can outsource these concerns. Since then we could really focus on our own processes, with the certainty that customs clearances and clearances went perfectly.

The temporary admission procedure makes it possible to use non-Community goods in the EU, which are re-exported in the short term, without the goods being affected. In this case there is a full or partial exemption from import duties. If the legislator has not given a time limit, the customs authorities will set the time limit. This term may not exceed two years.

The temporary export procedure is not an official customs procedure. However, it may be the case that you only want to bring goods outside the EU temporarily. The ATA carnet can be used for this. ATA stands for 'Admission Temporaire – Temporary Admission'. With this formatted document you can avoid waiting times and lengthy administrative processes. This concerns the temporary export of certain goods to a country outside the European Union and subsequent re-importation into the country of departure.

The Carnet ATA (ATA stands for 'admission temporaire – temporary admission') is a passport for goods. It can be used for the temporary export, import and transit of goods. With a Carnet-ATA, the usual guarantees at borders are no longer necessary.

The document is valid for a maximum of 1 year and can be used for multiple trips.

The carnet is mainly used for trade samples, exhibition goods and professional materials.

With this document you can apply for your carnet directly online and submit the application to the Chamber of Commerce. The chamber checks the information you provide and uses it for the production of your carnet.

• There is no paper correspondence with or visits to the Chamber of Commerce;
• You can track the status of your carnet and reuse data;
• You will be reminded that the validity period of the carnet has expired;
• You are not dependent on the opening hours of the Chamber of Commerce.
