Solution:

1. Shipment Pickup and Splitting:

TLS Technologies picked up the entire shipment from the client’s US facility. The shipment was professionally split into two parts for the UK and Germany.

For the UK, our local team handled all customs clearance processes and obtained the required import permits.
For Germany, the shipment was routed through our hub in the Netherlands, where it was cleared by our local team. This strategy allowed us to streamline operations and avoid potential hassles.

We ensured compliance with local trade regulations, acting as the Importer of Record (IOR) in both the UK and the Netherlands for Germany-bound shipments.

Throughout the process, our team maintained constant communication with the client, providing updates at every stage.

We offered 24/7 support to address any concerns and ensured the client had full visibility into the shipment’s progress.
