Repair procedures - rapid action in our customs warehouse
Corrective procedures are activities carried out to correct errors, discrepancies or problems that have arisen during customs clearance or the transport of goods. Their purpose is to quickly bring the cargo or documentation into compliance with customs requirements in order to avoid delays, penalties or additional costs.
When are recovery procedures needed?
Corrective procedures may be necessary in situations where the UCS states that it does not release goods due to certain deficiencies that can be remedied at the Customs Warehouse :
Incorrect or missing labelling of goods
Incorrect or missing declaration of conformity (CE)
No instructions for use in Polish
Why entrust recovery procedures to Alfa Customs Agency?
