Customs compliance, sorted before you ship
We prepare your EU imports — documents, origin, value, CBAM — before you ship. For importing SMEs and non-EU producers.
Built for SMEs and producers without an in-house customs team
CTB Group works with three profiles facing European regulatory complexity. Belgian and EU importing SMEs that want to secure their declarations without hiring a full-time customs officer. Non-EU producers — from Latin America, North Africa, Asia — targeting the European market and needing a reliable anchor point in Belgium. And e-commerce operators, who since 2026 face the removal of the de minimis threshold and new low-value consignment reporting obligations. If you recognise yourself in one of these profiles, customs pre-compliance is no longer optional: it is what separates an import that clears from an import that gets blocked.

Secure your import-export operations from the start
CTB Group intervenes upstream of the customs declaration — before shipment, before inspection — to secure your product data, transport documents and EU compliance.
The result: fewer border holds, predictable lead times, and controlled customs costs.
A shipment stuck at customs always costs more than a well-prepared file
Customs risks we eliminate before they reach the border
Commercial invoice inconsistent with the packing list, misclassified HS code, vague Incoterms, incomplete ICS2 entry summary declaration, unanticipated CBAM obligations: every year, thousands of SMEs see their goods detained, reclassified, or surcharged because of avoidable documentary errors.
A logistics control tower for your import-export flows
Ready-to-file customs documentation, CBAM compliance, and EU Customs Reform 2026 support — for SME importers, e-commerce operators, and non-EU producers entering the European market.

What sets us apart
Control tower, not customs broker
We do not file your customs declarations — we prepare and coordinate everything that needs to be, upstream, with your forwarder or broker. Our independence from that chain is your guarantee of objectivity.
Belgian-anchored, European-minded
Based near Brussels, we master Belgian specifics (PLDA, AC4, AES, NCTS, IDMS, CCI) and orchestrate flows entering through Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp or Le Havre from Belgium. The EU Reform 2026–2034 turns Belgium into a natural hub: we are already there.
Five languages, three continents
We work in French, Dutch, English, Portuguese and Spanish. In practice: we speak directly to your Brazilian supplier, your German client and your Flemish forwarder. The language barrier is no longer your problem.
