Who is CTB Group (Customs Trade & Business Group)?
CTB Group (Customs Trade & Business Group) is a Belgium-based BV/SRL supporting companies with import and export customs operations and EU compliance. Our mission is to make your cross-border flows faster, more predictable and compliant through rigorous document preparation, a preventive approach and strong operational coordination with your partners.
We support shipments to and from the European Union, as well as international flows worldwide, with a strong focus on the quality and consistency of key data and documents: commercial invoice, packing list, transport documents (CMR / AWB / Bill of Lading), Incoterms, shipping instructions, and compliance checkpoints.
What we do
CTB Group provides services focused on preparation, document control and coordination to reduce customs holds and avoid costly delays:
EU Pre-Compliance: review of applicable requirements, identification of non-compliance risks and a corrective action plan.
Customs Pre-Clearance: building a “ready-to-file” customs documentation pack (product/shipment data, invoice vs packing list checks, transport documents, Incoterms alignment).
EU Labelling Support: review of mandatory labelling elements and practical adjustments depending on the target EU market.
Pilot Flow (Process Setup): creating a repeatable import/export workflow (steps, responsibilities, timeline, go/no-go checkpoints).
Freight Forwarder / Customs Broker Coordination: operational alignment, centralised communication and document quality checks.
Importer / Distributor Matching: identifying, qualifying and introducing relevant partners to accelerate market entry.
Our approach
We work with a simple, effective method:
flow scoping (origin/destination, Incoterms, timing)
document collection & checks
compliance review & risk points,
structured “ready-to-file” documentation pack,
coordination through execution
Depending on your needs, we can also provide operational support and coordination for procedures such as customs transit (T1/T2) and temporary storage, in close collaboration with your logistics partners.
We facilitate your international exchanges with complete peace of mind.
Optimize your trade exchanges with our customized customs solutions. We offer a range of services that ensure compliance and speed in your operations.
EU compliance & "ready to declare" customs file (pre-clearance)
Are you exporting goods from Belgium/the European Union to the world, or preparing an import to the EU?
Customs Trade & Business Group supports you with a preventive approach to secure your import/export operations: EU customs compliance, customs pre-clearance, customs documentation control (commercial invoice, packing list, transport documents), EU labeling compliance if necessary, and coordination with your freight forwarder and authorized customs broker to reduce blockages and streamline your shipments.
Expected results: :
Fewer delays thanks to a complete and consistent customs file (invoice, packing list, AWB/CMR/BL, instructions, Incoterms).
Fewer errors on product data (description, value, origin, references) and better anticipation of sensitive points (classification/HS code to be validated by the declarant).
A more reliable international logistics flow through a pilot flow, checkpoints, and a reproducible method.
We also assist in preparation and coordination for transit operations (T1/T2), temporary storage, release for free circulation, export, re-export, and other customs procedures, in collaboration with your authorized freight forwarder/broker.
