Since 2004, Cargo Group Services has created and provided the CGL HUB Service.

Namely, the creation of the Customs distribution centre in Greece to forward goods in the Balkans, Central Europe and Africa.

Customers using this service are able to move their products without customs procedure per country before the sale and there is no need to have representatives in every location. Thus, faster access at the cheapest possible export tariff cost is ensured, avoiding VAT charges for third country cargoes destined to the EU, and cash flow is increased through facilitations such as the payment of duties on the 15th of the next month.

Having achieved AEO-F certification since 2009 for Customs Simplifications/Safety & Security, Cargo Group Services is the first transport company in Greece to provide this service, ensuring the following advantages:

• Easier access to customs simplifications
• Fewer physical and documentary inspections
• Priority in treatment of consignments if selected for a physical inspection
• Selection of inspection location
• Provision of fewer information for summary import/export declarations
• Inspection warning
• Recognition as a safe business partner by the customs authorities of the country and the EU, and mutual recognition within the framework of bilateral agreements between the EU and third countries
