E.C.S. – your trusted Approved Place
Enhancing efficiency and streamlining customs operations.
E.C.S. has been an Approved Place since May 2020, enabling us to conduct customs operations directly at our facility rather than at external customs offices. This authorization streamlines our customs procedures, enhancing efficiency and service quality for our clients.
Understanding the Approved Place authorization
An “Approved Place” is a designated area authorized by customs authorities where goods can be presented and processed for customs procedures. This designation allows companies to carry out export operations directly at their own facilities, eliminating the need to go through an external customs office. This approach streamlines logistics management, ensures greater control over operations, and significantly reduces cargo downtime, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and seamless supply chain.
Advantages of Approved Place status
Obtaining “Approved Place” status is a strategic asset for companies engaged in international trade, offering numerous operational and competitive benefits:
- Greater market competitiveness: the ability to manage customs procedures on-site makes operations faster and more flexible, enabling a more efficient service while reducing customer waiting times.
- Streamlined processes: by avoiding additional stops at external customs offices, we optimize logistics, reduce administrative burdens, and minimize bottlenecks.
- Real-time customs clearance: immediate processing of “exit visas” for EU exports accelerates the movement of goods beyond national borders, ensuring a smoother supply chain.
- Cost efficiency: direct management of customs operations eliminates reliance on external agents, significantly cutting operational and administrative costs.
- Rapid issue resolution: our highly specialized internal team can swiftly handle any formalities or emergencies, ensuring uninterrupted service and operational continuity.
- Greater operational flexibility: direct access to customs procedures allows businesses to quickly adapt to market demands and customer needs, enhancing overall supply chain efficiency.
