Customs
Management
For the brands whose logistics we already run end to end, customs isn't outsourced separately. It's one integrated stage of the supply chain: we turn customs obligations into efficiency, cost savings and full compliance, across every stage of the cycle, both import and export, for fashion brands moving goods through Italy.
Customs management and clearance built into your supply chain, not outsourced separately
For the client brands we already handle contract logistics for, customs management and customs clearance for fashion imports and exports through Italy are delivered as one integrated stage of their supply chain, not a standalone brokerage or fiscal representation service for third parties. Our team covers every stage of the customs cycle, both import and export, coordinating flows across 5 countries and 3 continents and turning obligations into efficiency, cost savings and full compliance.
Tariffs are the most-cited challenge for fashion executives heading into 2026, and 46% expect trade conditions to worsen, up from 39% previously.
One integrated partner across the full customs cycle
From export to import to certification, every stage is handled by the same team that already runs your brand's contract logistics, not a separate broker.
Export & transit
We handle export and transit procedures, including issuance of preferential certificates, origin declarations and free-export certifications, advising on rules of origin and trade agreements and supporting clients in obtaining Authorised Exporter status.
Compliant imports
On the import side, we assist with product classification, duties calculation and payment, and issuance of sanitary certificates, with guidance on customs value and preferential origin for goods from third countries.
Security & certification
We guide clients through AEO certification to ensure a high level of recognised compliance, in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
Every stage of the customs cycle, covered
Delivered as part of the contract logistics we already run for your brand, not a separate outsourced service, our tailored services cover every stage of the customs cycle, both import and export.
Closure, validation and specialist support
We ensure proper closure of export documents and MRN validation, and offer Regulated Agent services for added fluidity, for the brands whose end-to-end logistics we already manage. In today's increasingly complex regulatory environment, having a knowledgeable partner means fewer errors, less risk, and a simpler business landscape.
Customs coordination across our network
Customs management runs across the group's network as an integrated part of the contract logistics we operate for brands in multiple countries, not a stand-alone consultancy for external parties.
From preferential certificates to AEO certification, we build tailored customs services around your specific business needs, wherever your goods move.
In today's increasingly complex regulatory environment, having a knowledgeable partner means fewer errors, less risk, and a simpler business landscape.
