Electronic Customs Declaring
Electronic Customs Declaring (hereinafter referred to as ECD) for customs authorities is an easy and effective way to reduce transportation time.
The resolution of Customs Union Commission as of June 17, 2011 states the following: during the import of goods to customs area of the Customs Union (hereinafter referred to as the CU) it is required to provide information about imported goods within 2 hours prior to their arrival at a border entry point.
Information in electronic form is sent to customs authorities of the CU member state, where the destination of transportation is located. This procedure is also applied to goods in transit through the CU member states.
We undertake all the ECD documents execution and provide the service at any CU border entry point, regardless of the country of entry. ECD has become a common practice for APS. We provide this service since 2009 and at present all our transportations are performed according to this system.
We take great care of our clients: there is a division in APS, where specialists prepare ECD documents. This allows us to work without agents. The information sent to customs authorities is checked and can be corrected before the truck arrives at customs. That helps us to minimize the influence of human factor. We employ high-class specialists who are aware of cargo execution peculiarities.
A great advantage of partnership with APS is an individual attention to each client, providing him with a personal manager, who undertakes documents execution for different transportations. This helps us to satisfy all Your requirements.
