Overcome International Shipping Challenges
Customs clearance processes and requirements are in constant flux.
The implementation of the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) in the UK, the transition from AGS to DMS in the Netherlands, and post-Brexit complications have changed the way organisations move goods through customs, while the potential for recessions in the UK and EU is generating even more uncertainty.
DDC FPO’s Customs Brokerage Processing services can help your organisation adjust to these ongoing challenges and spread your risk — without compromising on productivity, accuracy, or customer service.

We audit, extract and key customs data from shipment documents such as bills of lading, commercial invoices, licenses and health certificates to ensure your declarations are compliant and accurate.
