Registrations in TRACES and CITES

Specialised customs services for every scenario

We use registrations in the TRACES system (Trade Control and Expert System New Technology), to take care of import control declarations in the following areas:

  • Processing of consignments of live animals, feed and products of animal and non-animal origin in line with veterinary legislation
  • Complete monitoring of foodstuffs, such as import control for organic farming produce
  • Plant protection, including input control to prevent damage to local crops caused by the introduction of invasive species, pests and diseases

These controls aren’t just applied to special delicacies like Wagyu beef from Japan. Even everyday products like honey need to be checked for harmful pathogens in certain circumstances.

We can also take complete care of CITES registrations for you. This system governs things like the international trade of live animals, including everything from pets to aquarium fish, but also house plants. The CITES treaty aims to regulate the trade of endangered species and make sure that it does not jeopardise the survival of these plants and animals.
