Euro- Cargo- Logistik

The ancestor of the whole ECL Euro-Cargo-Logistik Kontor GmbH shipping group is the head office in Hamburg. The main area of activity of the Hamburg head office is customs clearances both in import and export, performed on the basis of appropriate permits and financial securities within the whole territory of Germany.

Our asset is the head office in the Duty-Free Zone of the duty-free port enabling a cargo turnover without a necessity of an immediate payment of tax and customs duties. Enlarging the EU in 2004 with new member states, among other, with Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, created attractive opportunities in customs clearances for economic entities which have their head offices outside the territory of Germany. The ECL Kontor GmbH company as a fiscal representative, indicated by you, uses EU regulations regarding the settlement of VAT in import, pursuant to which it is calculated at a later time according to the principles binding in the intra-community trade. In this way a sales tax at the time of a customs clearance is 0%.
