You purchase goods from a company outside of the European Union and you intend to import these goods into an Eastern European country or Russia. You (or your supplier) organize international container transport to a port in Europe. Your goods need to be kept in transit and sent on to their final destination by truck over European Union territory or by air transport. In order to achieve this, 2 things have to be organized:
Following international container transport to a country in the EU, your container will be held at the port terminal (e.g. in Rotterdam, The Netherlands). In order to be allowed to pick up the container, it needs to be released and a copy of the Bill of Lading has to be presented. The container can then be transported to J. van de Put or be delivered to your place of business.
Once the container has arrived at J. van de Put, it is often the case that some further logistical activities have to be carried out. For instance, your shipment may need to be cooled down if it has arrived at too high a temperature. Or the shipment may have to be loaded onto pallets in accordance with your specifications. Perhaps the shipment will even need to be splitted, consolidated, or orders need to be picked.
Keeping this process on the right tracks requires a lot of knowledge and expertise. To this end, you are best off using the services of a specialist service provider such as J. van de Put.
If you are forwarding goods, then you will have to declare these to Customs. After all, Customs need to be informed that your consignment is being forwarded. A T-1 transit declaration needs to be prepared so that your goods are known to Customs and are kept in transit.
