Customs Clearance & Compliance Support
The customs clearance process is different from country to country, so it is always beneficial to work with a trusted logistics partner that understands what is required for every shipment and every destination country. Although it is straightforward when shipping from Ireland to Belgium, as they are both EU countries, it is important to still be thorough and accurate with all related documentation. For instance, there are EU protocols and processes for certain types of shipments, and if you are not ahead of these it can cause potential delays and financial penalties that can hurt your business if they become a regular occurrence.

Trade between two EU countries lessens the requirements for paperwork, which helps to minimise delays. There are some goods and methods of transit that require detailed paperwork, such as when goods are sent via air, where there is a need for an Aviation Security Declaration that must be attached to all parcels, packages, and letters to ensure compliance with security regulations. All contents of a shipment must be described accurately.
