Customs Services

Customs Clearance Directly at Frankfurt Airport

When it comes to pharmaceutical transport, every hour counts. Our location in Kelsterbach is just minutes from Frankfurt Airport, one of Europe’s most important pharma hubs. In addition to our temporary storage and customs warehousing services, we handle customs services for the import and export of pharmaceutical products, including active ingredients (API), study materials and medical devices.

As an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO), Logistics4Pharma is recognised by the customs authorities as a particularly reliable and secure partner. For you, this means simplified customs procedures and a secured supply chain from pick-up to delivery.

Our Services at a Glance

Customs Clearance (Import and Export)

We carry out customs clearance of your shipments for import and export, for example from third countries by air freight. For imports, we support you from the declaration to the release of the goods. For exports, we prepare the export declaration and take care of the proof of export. Close coordination of goods receipt, warehousing and onward transport means fewer interfaces and shorter lead times.

Customs Documents and Customs-Secured Transport: T1, T2 and Carnet

We issue the right documents for your shipment and manage existing ones for you:

• T1: Transport of non-Union goods under customs supervision, without the transit procedure having to end at the place of departure.
• T2: Transport of Union goods in the transit procedure.
• Carnet: For goods that only leave the country temporarily and return afterwards. We support you with the application, preparation and clearance.

With our authorisations as an authorised consignor and authorised consignee, we start and end transit procedures directly on site, at our location as well as at Cargo City Süd. You do not need to go to a customs office for this. We organise the transport in between as customs-secured, GDP-compliant and temperature-controlled transport with our own vehicle fleet. Approved customs seals ensure that your goods arrive verifiably unchanged.

Temporary Storage and Customs Warehouse

A T1 document is required to transfer goods into our temporary storage warehouse. Once stored, we rebook the goods to the security of our temporary storage warehouse and release them again in transit, from one temporary storage facility to another. In our private customs warehouse, we also store third-country goods securely and temperature-controlled. Duties and taxes only become due once the goods are released for free circulation. This keeps you flexible when your plans change.

Cross-Docking and Packaging Solutions

For time-critical shipments, we transship your goods at the airport location and prepare them for onward transport. We pack temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical goods with customised packaging solutions for air freight that comply with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. The specific handling depends on the requirements of your shipment.

Your Advantages at a Glance

• A single point of contact for customs, transport and storage
