Win-win through integrated processes
Customs and shipping from a single source
Delivering goods to the right place at the agreed time and at the lowest possible shipping costs? Not easy in itself. With customs participation, the process becomes significantly longer and more complex. And here, two worlds collide again and again between shipping and customs, i.e. between the fastest possible clearance and precise compliance with legal regulations. At the same time, delays in the international supply chain are quickly blamed on customs and shipping departments.
That doesn’t have to be the case! With sensible process integration and software from dbh, you can speed up your workflows and secure your processes at the same time.

More networking for more added value
- Speed up your processes and eliminate media disruptions: send your processes and customs documents digitally. And with different processes in one system: from individual parcels to collective customs clearance of entire pallets.
- Reduce workload and error potential: no more double entries and manual processing, customs processes are automatically filled with the necessary data from the shipping system
- Benefit from real-time status information: as soon as the shipment is released for customs clearance, it can be processed immediately. At the same time, the parcel is not actually handed over to the transport service provider until an export accompanying document is available. Long waiting times and unpleasant surprises at customs are now a thing of the past.
- Benefit from VAT exemption for intra-Community deliveries: the integrated entry certificate makes the process simpler, faster and more secure.
- Secure your shipping process even further: with our integrated sanctions list check on a daily basis.
