    Welcome to the New Digital Era!

    We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new comprehensive online customs platform, which revolutionizes customs clearance for UK-EU trade activities. Our service aims to make the administrative processes of international trade simpler, faster, and more transparent.

    Why Did We Launch This Platform?

    Since Brexit, trade between the UK and EU has changed significantly. Instead of simple goods movement, complex customs procedures, documentation, and compliance requirements are now necessary. Based on our clients' feedback, it became clear that a digital solution was needed that:

    • Simplifies documentation preparation
    • Accelerates customs clearance processes
    • Reduces the possibility of errors
    • Makes costs transparent
    • Supports businesses at every step

    Online Document Generation System

    The most important innovation of our platform is the fully automated document generation system, which allows our clients to produce the necessary customs documents within minutes - without needing deep professional knowledge.

    Available Documents and Forms:

    1. Mandatory Data for Import Duty

    This is our most complex and customizable form, supporting both EU → UK and UK → EU shipments.

    Main features:

    • Direction-based service selection: The system automatically offers the appropriate service options based on your chosen direction
    • For EU → UK: ENS, ELO, VPID, EU export document, UK import document, GMR
    • For UK → EU: T1, ENS, ELO, VPID, UK export document, EU import document, GMR
    • T1 transit handling: If you select the T1 service, the system displays additional fields for the closing customs office data
    • Multilingual support: All documents are created in both Hungarian and English
    • Digital signature: Immediately electronically signable via DocuSeal integration

    2. Single Authorization / Power of Attorney

    Ideal for one-time shipments when a permanent authorization is not needed. The document allows us to handle customs clearance for a specific shipment on behalf of our clients.

    3. VPID Authorization

    VPID (Customs Partner Identifier) authorization is essential for communication with Hungarian customs authorities. This document authorizes us to act on behalf of our client in the Hungarian customs system.

    4. T1 Single Authorization

    Special authorization for T1 transit procedures, allowing the transport of goods within or through the European Union with suspended customs duty.

    5. T1 Importer Declaration

    The importer's official declaration confirming ownership of the shipment and acceptance of customs obligations.

    6. Customs Declaration

    Comprehensive customs declaration document containing all necessary information about the shipment, its value, and origin.

    7. Packing List

    Detailed list of the shipment contents, critically important during customs clearance. Our system supports:

    • Dynamically adding multiple items
    • Precise recording of quantity, value, and weight
    • Specifying HS codes for items
    • Automatic summarization

    8. Export POA (Power of Attorney)

    Export authorization for UK customs clearance, authorizing us to represent the exporter with UK customs authorities.

    9. Letter of Authority

    General authorization document providing comprehensive rights for us to represent the client in customs matters.

    10. Notice to End Tenancy

    Special document for relocation services, certifying the vacating of a previous address.

    11. Statement for ATA Carnet

    Declaration for ATA Carnet documents, ideal for international transport of goods intended for temporary use (e.g., exhibition materials, professional equipment).
