Direct and indirect customs representation

We act as a customs representative for our international customers and we submit customs declarations to the Dutch Customs Agency. We represent our customers in two ways:

Direct representative

In case we act as a direct representative we act in name and on behalf of our customer. This means that we are legally responsible for all customs and tax obligations related to the goods or services being imported or exported.

Indirect representative

In case we act as an indirect representative we act in our name but on behalf of our customer. We do this in case the customer is located outside the European Union, for example in European countries as Switzerland and the United Kingdom, or in non-European countries.

Dutch Customs Management System

In June 2023, we switched to the new Dutch Customs Management System (DCMS) to carry out customs import and export declarations. The DCMS is a web-based system that provides a single point of entry for all customs declarations. We use the NCTS system to issue transit documents. The NCTS is an electronic system that allows us to track the movement of goods in transit through the EU.
