Import

At Portagent, we understand the importance of a fast and cost-effective customs declaration process for your imports. Whether it’s raw materials, machinery, or goods for resale, we can help you get your products to market quickly. Our experts will assign the correct tariff numbers (HS / Taric codes) and prepare all necessary documents to ensure a smooth customs clearance process.

We also offer consulting and support with preferential origin agreements which allow to minimize or avoid import duties where applicable. Our services extend to both whole container load and individual LCL commodity customs declarations. Additionally, we offer fiscal representation to minimize bureaucracy and maximize your cash flow.
