Samphire Cargo France has opened its doors for business and provides a true end-to-end solution, and a gateway to & from Europe.
The office based in Lesquin, near Lille, will offer fast-response customs clearance services for clients in both the UK and Europe, being headed up by the highly experienced Youcef Mahmoudi who comes from over 20 years at the Japanese company Kintetsu World Express.
Youcef Mahmoudi, Samphire Cargo SAS, said:
“I am hugely excited to start this new journey with Samphire and Simpex. The customs services and knowledge we can offer in France will be beneficial to clients on both sides of the channel.”
With Samphire’s physical presence in both the UK and France, they can facilitate the clearance of goods under regime 40/42 at the EU frontier with SMART border, specifically in Calais or Dunkirk.
Clearing under regime 40/42 allows for the deferral of Import VAT, which can help fast-track the customs clearance process. By deferring the payment of Import VAT and duties, UK companies can avoid waiting for consignees to make these payments before the release of goods at the final destination. This is particularly beneficial for businesses looking to accelerate their cross-border shipments.
The collaboration between Samphire Cargo, and their experienced team members in France reflects a commitment to offering consistent and all-encompassing services on both ends of the supply chain. This expansion aligns well with the increasingly complex demands of international trade and showcases an innovative approach to meeting these challenges head-on.
