Customs engineering
Are you importing into the EU or exporting from the EU? In order for your products to be accepted on the EU market or exported from the EU, a number of customs requirements must be met. If they are not met, flows may be delayed or goods may be even blocked at customs, and the responsibility of your company may be engaged.
