Customs management for businesses: what it includes
A company that imports or exports often does not need someone to do “a clearance”. It needs a customs agency that knows its business: what products it moves, which suppliers it works with and when it needs the goods. That is what we offer:
- Import and export clearances on a recurring basis.
- Tariff classification of your catalogue.
- Customs advice: procedures, taxes, documents and regulatory changes.
- Representation before customs on your behalf.
- Transport coordination, if you need it, between mainland Spain and Melilla.
Customs clearance for SMEs
SMEs often have the same problem: foreign trade is an important part of the business, but nobody is dedicated solely to customs. That is where a customs agency adds the most value:
- You avoid holds caused by incomplete paperwork.
- You pay what is due, no more and no less, thanks to correct classification.
- You save time: you send the documents and we do the rest.
Importing from Melilla and exporting to Melilla
If your company works with Melilla, bear in mind that according to the Spanish Tax Agency the city is outside the EU customs union and the VAT area. Every operation between Melilla and mainland Spain is an export at origin and an import at destination:
| Direction | At origin | At destination |
|---|---|---|
| Mainland Spain → Melilla | Export (export declaration) | Import into Melilla, with IPSI |
| Melilla → mainland Spain | Export from Melilla | Import into mainland Spain: duties depending on origin, and VAT |
With offices in Melilla and Málaga we cover both sides. If you also need to move the goods, we combine it with our mainland Spain–Melilla shipping with customs included.
Customs advice
As well as handling the paperwork, we advise you so your operations are simpler and safer:
- Which customs procedure suits each case: import, export or T1 transit.
- Which documents and certificates your products require.
- How regulatory changes affect your shipments.
