There’s nothing worse than being tied to an agreement that no longer works for you.

Value-added tax, or VAT, is added to a product at every point of the supply chain where value is added to it. VAT, in the European Union, is a general, broadly based consumption tax assessed on the value added to goods and services. It applies more or less to all goods and services that are bought and sold for use or consumption in the European Union. Thus, goods which are sold for export or services which are sold to customers abroad are normally not subject to VAT. More than 160 countries around the world impose Value Added Tax on goods and services.

A seamless customs process improves overall transit time, and shipments are held in customs to ensure they satisfy export or import customs regulations.
In international shipping, it is not allowed to under-declare the value of the goods on package labels or misdeclare the content description and HS (harmonised system) code on packages. Responsibility is handled by the sender, shipper, or owner of the goods using SMS Fulfillment Solutions services.
Our warehouses are insured against floods, fires, theft, or earthquakes. There is also an option for our clients to get additional insurance for their goods. Also, we offer insurance for data protection.
HS code stands for Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System. It is an international customs classification system which allocates a unique 6-digit HS code to each group of products.
HS codes consist of at least 6 digits and are broken down into: Chapters (first 2 digits), Headings (first 4 digits) and Subheadings (full 6 digits). The HS codes are further subdivided into 7- to 12-digit items depending on the country (also referred to as commodity codes and national tariff lines). They are used by customs to classify the shipped product. That way, they can accurately calculate taxes and duties and apply necessary restrictions.
We are committed to protecting your inventory with the highest level of security.
