Ensuring compliance to customs regulations

We are a neutral customs partner
serving both companies and individuals

In addition to duty collection, the foremost responsibility of customs is ensuring adherence to customs regulations, which is crucial for regulating the flow of goods in both imports and exports.

The customs process begins in the country of origin and concludes in the country of destination. With over four decades of experience in managing and advising on customs matters, combined with our neutrality, we have become the premier partner for transportation between Italy and Switzerland. We provide freight carriers with efficient and professional support for clearing shipments globally.
