What areas can we help you with?

Customs debt security is a service whereby a customs agency guarantees the payment of customs duties on behalf of a client to the customs authorities. This is particularly important for companies importing and exporting goods, as it allows them to speed up customs clearance without having to pay customs duties, VAT and other fees immediately.

🔹 J.DAUMAN LOGISTICS acts as a guarantor - it uses its own security (e.g. a bank guarantee or deposit) in favour of the customs authorities.
🔹 Goods are cleared more quickly - the company can take delivery of the goods without having to pay duty in advance.
🔹 The customer settles the obligations within the agreed timeframe - most often under the Duty Deferment procedure.
🔹 Elimination of the need to block own funds - the company does not need to make a customs deposit itself.
