Customs revision - what does it consist of?


One of the key stages is the customs search, which is an inspection carried out by KAS officers. It takes place directly on the square of our customs warehouse, where:

  • officials check the conformity of the contents with the declaration
  • verify the technical condition of the vehicle
  • assess whether the property was indeed for private use

This ensures that the entire process takes place in one secure location, significantly reducing stress and time on the client's part.
