Customs Clearance Notes & Required Documents

To ensure the smooth customs clearance of goods at Thessaloniki Port and avoid unnecessary delays and losses, customers must confirm that the destination port can complete customs clearance smoothly before inquiry, and provide the following complete and true documents and information:

Required Documents & Information

Thessaloniki Port Customs Clearance Notes

Thessaloniki Port is an important port in the European Union, and its customs clearance follows the relevant regulations of the European Union. The key notes are as follows:

  • HS Code Classification: Correctly classify the HS code of goods according to EU standards to ensure that the classification is consistent with the actual goods. Incorrect classification may lead to fines and customs clearance delays.

  • Tariff Policy: Understand the tariff preferential policies under the China-EU Trade Agreement, and provide valid certificates of origin to enjoy preferential tariffs.

  • VAT Payment: The standard VAT rate in Greece is 24%, and some commodities are applicable to preferential tax rates. Customers need to prepare funds for VAT payment in advance.

  • Product Certification: Commodities entering the European Union, such as electronic products, machinery and equipment, textiles, etc., need to meet EU CE certification standards. Customers must provide valid CE certification documents.

  • Document Consistency: Ensure that the information on the packing list, proforma invoice, bill of lading and other documents is consistent, and there is no contradiction or error. Customs will strictly check the consistency of documents.
