Customs Clearance
HGL operates one of Hungary’s largest and most comprehensively licensed customs brokerages, located at Budapest Airport where our AEO-C certified customs brokerage operates nonstop 24 hours, 7 days a week.
HGL’s customs clearance operation has grown each year for over 30 years, driven by our commitment to excel in time-critical and sensitive transport tasks.
The single most important factor in realizing excellent transport performance is to ensure rapid and problem free customs clearance at both ends of the process.
FOR CUSTOMS CLEARANCE HGL IS ALL YOU NEED
Within the framework of the European Union’s Internet One Stop Shop (IOSS), HGL are a leading provider of H7 simplified customs procedures for the batch clearance and handling of hundreds of thousands of B2C parcels imported daily from outside the EU.
Our central air cargo and E-commerce hub at M0 Maglód Hello Parks, adjacent to Budapest Airport (BUD) is fully bonded and licensed for a multitude of customs disciplines, including high volume H7 clearances of cross-border e-commerce traffic.
The facility is manned by Pest County regional Customs Bureau officers. Our regional e-commerce hub at Debrecen International Airport (DEB) has identical bonded status and is currently operating as a high-volume injection point for cross-border e-commerce traffic from China to the CEE region. Our facilities are equipped with ULD handling equipment for fast processing
Our effort and investment over the years has focused on obtaining the knowledge, experience, licenses, certifications, procedures and professional staff, to make sure that each clearance is fast, efficient and cost effective.
HGL provides customers with consultancy and guidance about what they need to do to before their shipment is dispatched and continues with checking and controlling that every piece of documentation is as it should be.
HGL maintains an actual physical presence of at least 4 people at Budapest Airport and M0 Maglód Hello Parks Customs Office and e-commerce hub,
24 hours each day, 7 days a week – because real people are needed to deal with urgent issues when a recorded message simply won’t do.
