Reducing customs duties within the EU
With our FirstPortSaver, we make use of a little-known customs regulation that allows you to pay customs duties on freight costs only up to the first port of call within the EU. This regulation offers an effective method to reduce costs and optimize your logistics processes. Sustainably reduce your customs duties and benefit from our many years of expertise in international trade to make your operations even more cost-efficient.
With our solutions, your goods reach their destination faster
Our Customs Solutions help to accelerate customs clearance processes and thus avoid delays in the movement of goods. This not only saves costs, but also reduces the risk of penalties for non-compliance with customs regulations. Together, we ensure the smooth flow of your goods movements so that you meet the legal requirements for international trade.
Making good processes even better
As part of our SupplyX SCAN consulting service, we subject your existing processes to a 360-degree check. Thanks to many years of practical experience, we identify optimization potential particularly quickly and produce an analysis within two to three days.

By assigning goods to specific product categories, we ensure that the correct customs rates and duties are applied – from raw materials and intermediate products to finished articles. This requires a precise understanding of the characteristics and use of the goods concerned and has a direct impact on your costs and regulatory compliance.

We guide you to becoming an authorized economic operator
An Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) holds a special status: the authorized economic operator is considered extremely reliable and trustworthy in the global supply chain and can take advantage of facilitations in customs clearance. We review the authorization requirements on your behalf, accompany you through the application process, and implement measures for obtaining and maintaining the status.
With AEO status, your company benefits from many advantages in global trade, such as simplifications in customs procedures, improved business partner relationships, access to customs facilitations, or relief in international expansion. In order to be recognized and certified as an authorized economic operator, various criteria must be met – we support you on this path with our services and expertise.
We help with obtaining and maintaining authorizations
Our Customs Solutions come into play not only when obtaining AEO status, but also in other authorization processes. To ensure that all customs regulations are properly fulfilled, the requirements and obligations associated with a particular status must be understood and implemented. To help your company become an "authorized exporter", we assist with the issuance of proof of preference, including training certificates following participation in the "Origin of Goods and Preferences" seminar. This also includes the creation of work and organizational instructions.

Do you still have questions?
Successfully moving goods across the border involves more than just completing customs formalities. It also includes filing a customs declaration, determining the tariff classification of the goods, assessing the customs value, documenting imports or exports, paying duties and taxes, as well as undergoing checks and inspections. SupplyX handles these tasks in full compliance with the law and ensures smooth and predictable cross-border movement of goods through precise tariff classification and complete documentation.
SupplyX supports companies throughout the entire customs process – from tariff classification and customs value determination to document preparation, customs declarations, and special customs procedures. Digital solutions, experienced customs specialists, and clear processes help prevent delays and ensure compliance requirements are met. This enables companies to manage their international shipments as efficiently as possible.
Smart customs management helps companies minimize potential risks, such as delayed delivery of goods, and avoid unnecessary costs. It also makes it easier to comply with regulations. Furthermore, with professional customs management, companies can benefit from free trade agreements and other customs-related advantages. SupplyX’s Customs Solutions analyze existing customs processes, identify opportunities for optimization, and develop customized solutions to make processing more efficient and cost-effective.
Depending on the country and the type of goods, the requirements and documents needed for customs declaration may vary. Generally, companies need a commercial invoice, shipping documents, a certificate of origin for the goods, a transport insurance policy, the customs tariff number, and – depending on the goods – additional documentation, permits, or a customs power of attorney. SupplyX’s customs experts review these documents for completeness and ensure that all information is submitted correctly and on time.
