The movement of goods between EU countries is not subject to customs duty, but to a statistical declaration. We prepare, file and amend your declarations, both arrivals and dispatches.
Representation in completing the transport of excise goods within the EU (alcohol, tobacco, mineral oils). Together with INTRASTAT, we also cover trade within the Union.
IM&EX builds on more than two decades of practice in customs procedures. We were originally part of a larger company; after becoming independent, we expanded our services to include representing companies in INTRASTAT-SK declarations and tailored specialist customs solutions.
We are a team that leads each case from the first inquiry through to the release of the goods. At the helm is managing director Ing. Andrej Uhrin, customs declarant.
We handle complete customs clearance for both import and export of goods, prepare and file the customs declaration, and ensure the correct customs classification. For trade within the European Union, we file INTRASTAT-SK statistical declarations. We represent companies before the customs offices in Bratislava, Nitra and Trnava, and we communicate in Slovak, English, Russian and Ukrainian, so we also understand foreign importers and exporters.
Whether you regularly import containers from Asia, export to third countries, or are dealing with a one-off shipment, we will design a tailored procedure and guide you through it from the first document to the release of the goods. Without needless errors in the declaration or delays at the border.
Excellent customs brokers. Fast communication, always available and always ready to help resolve any issues during customs clearance. They check all the documents thoroughly and notify you immediately if they find any errors. They always offer advice and complete their work efficiently and on time.
Excellent customs broker, highly recommended. IM&EX helped me with the customs clearance of personal belongings when relocating from Armenia to Slovakia. They were the only ones who replied over the holidays, explained everything clearly, and handled the whole process quickly, professionally and at a fair price.
Great company. Fast processing of export documents. A reliable partner for our exports.
We represent you before the customs authorities. We prepare and file the customs declaration, calculate customs duty and VAT, ensure the correct classification of goods, and communicate with the customs office. You avoid penalties for errors in the declaration and delays to your goods at the border.
When the supporting documents are complete and correctly prepared, we usually file the customs declaration on the same day we receive them. The release of the goods into the customs procedure itself depends on the customs authorities and, in most cases, takes place within 1 to 2 working days. In the event of a physical inspection, a document check, or a check of licences, permits or other specific requirements of the customs office, this time may be extended accordingly. We keep you informed throughout the process.
INTRASTAT concerns the movement of goods between EU member states and serves statistical reporting. The obligation to file declarations arises only for entities that exceed the legally set thresholds for the dispatch or arrival of goods.
A customs procedure is required when importing goods from countries outside the EU or exporting them outside the EU. It involves filing a customs declaration and, depending on the specific case, also the assessment of customs duty, VAT or the completion of other customs formalities.
If you are not sure whether you need INTRASTAT or a customs procedure, we will be glad to assess your situation free of charge.

The movement of goods between European Union countries is not subject to customs duty, but to a statistical declaration. We prepare, file and amend your INTRASTAT declarations, both arrivals and dispatches. We save you time.
INTRASTAT is the system through which the European Union monitors trade in goods between member states. The data collected serves the statistical office for economic statistics on the movement of goods within the EU internal market. The system came into being in 1993 together with the single internal market.
Unlike trade with third countries, no customs duty is payable on the movement of goods within the EU. Instead of a customs declaration, once the legal threshold is exceeded, a statistical declaration is filed, separately for arrivals of goods (import) and dispatches of goods (export).
By law, a declaration must be filed by every legal or natural person that meets all three conditions:
The value is calculated for the previous calendar year or from the start of the year under review. The declaration must be filed by the 15th calendar day after the end of the reporting period.
The thresholds are not the same for everyone. Lower thresholds apply to companies in agriculture and food production, for example animal husbandry, crop growing, the production of food and beverages, fishing, forestry and timber harvesting.
Preparing, filing and amending declarations, monitoring thresholds and all the processes around INTRASTAT will be handled by our team of customs experts. You take care of the business, we take care of the statistics.
INTRASTAT is the system for collecting and processing statistical data on trade in goods between EU member states. Every business that engages in such trade and exceeds the threshold submits data on the quantity, value and type of goods and the countries of origin and destination.
The obligation arises when the value of goods moving between EU countries exceeds the set threshold. The threshold is determined separately for arrivals and for dispatches and may change from year to year according to the legislation.
No. A declaration is filed only after the exemption threshold has been exceeded. If your trade in goods within the EU does not exceed this threshold, no obligation to file INTRASTAT arises for you.
EMCS is an electronic system for monitoring the transport of excise goods under a duty-suspension arrangement. We will arrange representation in completing the transport and communication with the customs office on your behalf.
EMCS (Excise Movement and Control System) is a European Union electronic system for tracking the transport of excise goods under a duty-suspension arrangement. It replaces paper accompanying documents with the electronic administrative document e-AD.
It concerns mainly alcohol, tobacco products and mineral oils (fuels) that move between tax warehouses and registered consignors and consignees within the EU. The system ensures that excise duty is correctly settled in the country of consumption.
You deal with EMCS when all three conditions apply to your transport:
We will represent you in completing the transport in the EMCS system, monitor the reports of receipt, and communicate with the customs office on your behalf. You take care of the goods, we take care of the administration.
