Moving commercial goods internationally calls for efficient logistics, proper documentation, and a reliable partner to ensure a hassle-free process. At MDE<\/strong>, we offer solutions for businesses that need to ship goods by land, air, or sea<\/strong>, ensuring speed, competitive costs, and customs compliance.<\/p>\n\n

Differences between commercial and personal shipments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unlike personal parcel shipments of up to 30 kg, which are handled easily through international couriers without major customs requirements, commercial shipments require:<\/p>\n

✅ Proper classification and documentation<\/strong>: Commercial invoice, certificate of origin, tariff classification, and possibly additional certifications.
✅ Professional customs handling<\/strong>: Export and import procedures, regulatory compliance, and payment of duties when applicable.
✅ Optimized transport options<\/strong>: Choosing the best route (land, air, or sea) based on the urgency, volume, and destination of the goods.<\/p>\n

At MDE<\/strong>, we take care of this entire process so that your business can operate smoothly and with complete peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n

Transport options for commercial goods<\/strong><\/h3>\n

📦 Air freight<\/strong>: Ideal for high-value or urgent goods. It reduces transit times, although at a higher cost.
🚛 Land freight<\/strong>: The best option within the European Union and neighboring countries. Thanks to the free movement of goods within the bloc, duties and customs procedures are eliminated.
🚢 Sea freight<\/strong>: The most cost-effective alternative for heavy loads or large volumes. It allows shipments to be consolidated in containers, reducing the cost per unit shipped.<\/p>\n\n

Customs handling and shipment consolidation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest challenges for transporting goods outside the European Union is proper customs handling. Our team works with customs agents<\/strong> to ensure that documentation is in order and to avoid delays or penalties.<\/p>\n

In addition, we offer a shipment consolidation<\/strong> service, allowing your goods to be grouped in one of our warehouses within the EU before export, optimizing transport and customs costs.<\/p>\n\n

Import and export: keys to an efficient shipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Shipping commercial goods outside the European Union<\/strong> involves import and export<\/strong> processes, which require proper documentation and adequate customs handling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

🔹 Import<\/strong>: When goods are received from a country outside the EU, import duties and taxes<\/strong> must be paid, unless free trade agreements apply. Having a correct tariff classification<\/strong> is essential to avoid extra costs.<\/p>\n

🔹 Export<\/strong>: When shipping goods outside the EU, you need to present a commercial invoice, a certificate of origin, and an export declaration<\/strong>. We have customs agents to speed up this procedure and avoid delays.<\/p>\n

If your business imports goods regularly<\/strong>, it is advisable to consider options such as customs warehouses and non-customs bonded warehouses (DDA)<\/strong> to defer tax payment until the goods are sold or re-exported.<\/p>\n\n

Customs warehouses and their impact on cost reduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Customs warehouses<\/strong> allow goods to be stored without paying duties or taxes until they are sold or re-exported. They are a key tool to:<\/p>\n

✅ Defer tax payment<\/strong> and improve your business's cash flow.
✅ Avoid double taxation<\/strong> if the goods are only in transit within the EU.
✅ Optimize the transit of goods<\/strong> from a strategic logistics point without unnecessary tax costs.<\/p>\n

At MDE<\/strong>, we work with warehouses under customs regime<\/strong>, which makes it possible to store goods without incurring additional costs until clearance is needed.<\/p>\n\n

How to avoid double taxation in international transit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest hidden costs in international trade is double customs taxation<\/strong>, which occurs when goods in transit pay duties in an intermediate country before being exported to their final destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To avoid this extra cost, it is essential to use customs transit regimes<\/strong>, such as the T1 regime in the European Union<\/strong>, which allows non-Community goods to be transported without paying duties until they reach their final destination.<\/p>\n

A company in Mexico<\/strong> buys products in Turkey<\/strong>, but decides to consolidate the goods in a warehouse in Spain <\/strong>before forwarding them to Mexico.<\/p>\n\n
