Temporary storage
Sometimes there are situations when there is not enough data for the next transit procedure for the cargo. In such a case, there is a possibility to place the goods in a temporary storage warehouse for 20 days without customs declaration. This temporary extension provides an opportunity to free the vehicle by unloading the goods to the warehouse, to check and compare the consistency of the nomenclature and weight of the goods to with the accompanying documents, and if it is necessary, to ask the supplier for additional documents for the further customs procedures.
The state and our customers trust us
Storage of goods in a customs warehouse meets the requirements of European customs regulation. The goods are stored under a special customs procedure, under customs control. Territory of the customs warehouse is guarded by a specialized security unit. Warehouses are equipped with modern security systems. Each goods “go in” and “go out” from warehouse is registered by the special customs procedure. The stock take of stored goods is held regularly. Registration of goods received for storage and release is performed according to the numbers of customs declarations, the nomenclature, and the weight and number of units. Preparation to dispatch the goods and selection is done on the basis of client orders, which is formed in the electronic system by the skilled manager and custom specialist according to customs and client’s requirements.
High accuracy
The vehicle is loaded and unloaded in the presence of financially responsible persons such as store keeper and driver. While the goods are unloaded in the warehouse, the entire process is documented by photography. If damage in a good’s package is identified by the store keeper, photos are immediately sent by an e-mail to the client for the final decision on package opening. During the loading of goods in the vehicle, our workers make “step-by-step” photos of the process. This ensures quality control of loading works performed by highly qualified cargo handlers, whose main aim is to provide full safety of the goods, but also important is to use the maximum value of the vehicle. Our clients are used to a high quality of work and do not skimp to save money on basic cargo loading/unloading operations. If clients choose a cheaper service provider, it can cause an unfortunate situation where additional expenses for problem solving may occur.
