formalities
“Customers who utilize our quay-to-quay service for their container transport are responsible for handling the customs formalities themselves. They provide all the necessary export documentation in a timely manner (through Portbase). Only after the documentation has been approved, the transport across the water takes place.
Of course, it is also in our interest that all the required documentation is provided on time and is accurate. In practice, this creates a sense of shared responsibility, and we act as the point of contact for our customers if they have any questions, uncertainties, or issues.”
