Customs Transit
Grupajes Alicante is a customs agency that has been managing import clearance for more than 30 years, importing products from the agri-food, meat and industrial sectors from other countries. We are present in Spain, Europe and Central America, so we have a unique and relevant position when it comes to offering a comprehensive and complete service and personalised attention. With each client we work with, we always take into account their needs and objectives.
We are specialists in import customs management, and we know the whole process of importing goods into Spain. We are aware of the regulations in force and the procedures and inspections to be carried out during the customs clearance process.
What is Customs Transit? It is a customs regime that allows the movement of goods in various customs territories under a duty and tax free regime. In other words, it is the key to getting your goods from a point of origin to a point of destination across different countries without paying duties and taxes at each border. To understand it better, imagine a scenario where you have goods coming from the UK destined for Spain, but they must cross the French border on their way.
Thanks to Customs Transit and the use of a T1 document, these goods progress to the customs point in Spain without incurring customs costs at that point.
This significant saving not only simplifies logistical processes, but also reduces operational costs, which is essential for any company aiming for success in international trade.
Sanitary and Phytosanitary Control
Although Customs Transit provides numerous advantages, it does not exempt goods from the necessary sanitary and phytosanitary controls.
These controls are carried out at the first point of entry into the European Union, which, in the example above, would be in France. It is essential to ensure that your products comply with the sanitary and phytosanitary requirements, which will ensure a smooth transit.
Advantages
This process has significant advantages for both companies and national economies. The following are some of the key benefits:
Access to global markets.
It allows companies to access international markets, which significantly expands their customer base and business opportunities.
Revenue diversification
Companies reduce their dependence on a local market by diversifying their operations across different countries, providing a more stable revenue stream.
Economies of scale
Mass production and international distribution results in reduced unit costs, which improves profitability.
Innovation and competition
Exposure to different markets fosters innovation and competition, leading to constant improvement of products and services.
Access to resources and raw materials
Provides access to natural resources and raw materials that are not available in the country of origin, benefiting production and the economy as a whole.
Business growth
Customs Traffic drives business growth, leading to job creation and further economic development
Customs Transit and the European Union: Broadening your Horizons
Customs Transit is not only limited to the borders of one country. It is a powerful tool for trade with member countries of the European Union.
The European Union is a customs union, which means that the same customs duties and trade regulations apply in all member countries.
This greatly facilitates trade between these countries and provides unparalleled trading opportunities. If you have goods moving within the EU or entering through an external border, Customs Transit is a key strategy to keep your business moving efficiently.
Beyond Borders: EFTA and Customs Transit
Customs Transit is not limited to the borders of the European Union. It is also a valuable tool for trade with countries that are part of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), which includes Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
Want to expand your trade horizons beyond the European Union? Customs Transit offers you a solution. This means that you can take advantage of the suspension of duties and taxes for trade with these countries, which makes Customs Transit a must-have strategy for any company with international operations.
Customs Guarantees: The Heart of Customs Transit
A fundamental aspect to operate under the Customs Transit regime is the need for a guarantee. This guarantee can take two forms: an individual guarantee for a single operation or a global guarantee authorisation for several joint operations. This is essential to ensure the payment of customs duties on the operation.
Types of Guarantors
The holder of the guarantee may be the operator themselves or the declarant in the case of indirect representation. The choice of guarantor will depend on the structure of your operation and who assumes responsibility for customs duties.
This is an essential piece of the Customs Transit puzzle and requires proper management to avoid complications.
