Contracting Transportation

Once Customs releases goods, a transportation enterprise will be able to get goods from the port and take them to the buyer's shop.

Conclusions

As it could be observed, the import operation is very simple. Besides, with the help of professionals and people with experience in the field of foreign trade, everything turns out to be even simpler.

In addition, the fact that we have a brunch depending on Customs in our province, allows us to reduce the costs of import and, besides, supervise the operation personally.

On the other hand, the businessmen in our province count on a possibility that is the Free Trade Zone.

This possibility permits to postpone the payment of nationalization rights until the moment goods are taken away from the Free Trade Zone. This is to say, the payment is not carried out when goods arrive in the country, but when they are sold (and only in the proportion that is taken away).

This is an important financial saving as regards when the time of analyzing a foreign trade operation comes.

Besides, the free Trade Zone with its logistic net and its custom officers offers complete experts' advice service and realization of the import operations.
