In our series #WeAreCustomsSupport, you will meet the people behind Customs Support. We value our colleagues and the work they do.

With Brexit almost one and a half month underway we are seeing hiccups in the flows of goods between the European Union and the United Kingdom.

The Customs Support Group does much more than being a customs partner for companies that wish to export goods or import goods and participate in global trade.

When you become a Customs Support customer and need import- or export documents you need to give us your Power of Attorney. We need it to be allowed to act as your customs agent. When (potential) customers want to give us their power of attorney there are strict guidelines.

Customs Support, the neutral and dynamic partner for customs matters in Europe, announces the acquisitions of Verex Customs Services. Customs Support aims to be the leading digital and neutral customs broker in Europe. This acquisition strengthens our service portfolio and presence in The Netherlands. 

When goods are bought or sold "Ex Works" (EXW) it means that the Seller is making the goods available at their factory or warehouse. The buyer is then free to come and pick up the goods. Ex Works places full responsibility for cost and risk with the buyer, as the buyer has to arrange everything.

Customs Support is proud to announce that Musketier B.V. is now part of the Customs Support Family. With this acquisition, we strengthen our portfolio and we will serve our customers even better.
