Customs declaration

Accurate handling of your customs formalities

Importing or exporting goods requires a crucial step: the customs declaration. This is the official notification by a company or person to customs of wanting to place trade goods under a certain customs procedure. Let's dive into the process of the customs declaration and discover how The Freight Hero can help you with this.

Customs declaration: an overview

If you import or export goods, these goods must be officially declared to customs. This process, known as a customs declaration, is carried out in a prescribed form and manner. In this process the declarant provides data about the goods to customs. This data is then used to calculate any import or export duties, to check whether other regulations apply, and for supervisory purposes.

Import duties and export duties

The information you provide during a customs declaration is used to calculate any import or export duties. The amount of these duties varies depending on the type of product and the country of origin. With the help of the HS code (Harmonized System) or TARIC code you can determine the import duties for your goods. Bear in mind that, in addition to import duties, other levies may also apply to the goods you want to import or export. These can be, for example, anti-dumping levies or agricultural levies.
