Foreign Trade Compliance – Customs and security in your supply chain
To enable us to handle your global trade in legal and organizational terms, DACHSER offers a variety of services along the supply chain. In the context of foreign trade compliance, for example, our experts will support you in complying with global customs and safety regulations and safeguarding your freight movements. We create an active partnership with you, right from the start. This includes keeping you up-to-date on current and relevant transport and customs security initiatives.
When it comes to air freight transport, security is of utmost importance. As security becomes increasingly complex, we help you to comply with all legal requirements for secure supply chains. The logistics processes at DACHSER are standardized worldwide and are constantly reviewed and audited by independent parties.
As the customs authorities have tightened their legislation in the interest of counter-terrorism, particularly for imports into the USA, global transport companies have to contend with highly strict safety regulations. Our customs security experts are well-trained in the process and can help you get your freight into the USA quickly and safely. We enable you to meet delivery deadlines and avoid fines, damage to your companies' reputation, and even imprisonment, by fulfilling all commercial requirements correctly.
