Cargo transport

• Acceptance of goods is made at BICC/Globe Ground terminal, checking whether the goods comply with the transport conditions (documents, packing, marking).
• Customs formalities, are performed by the customs representative in direct relation with the sender or its representative (customs broker).
• Security control operations, performed in accordance with the laws in force in each country by the competent authoritie

It is important to know that, upon the request of customs and security authorities, goods can be opened for control only in the presence of the sender or of its representative. The goods are considered as accepted for transportation only after completion of the above-mentioned steps.
