Warehouse Spaces OCW - OW
Within our warehouse spaces, goods can be stored maintaining the status of "transit", having the customs procedure OCW, "Open Customs Warehouse". This procedure makes it possible to keep the goods in the customs state of arrival and to send them back without paying any customs duty. After storage, the customer can import the goods into Swiss territory or open a transit procedure to export the goods. Dedicated software allows our staff to manage goods according to customer needs and to have a clear situation in real-time for customs checks.
The main benefits of an OCW

- Local independence: goods do not have to be presented to any customs office;
- The available infrastructure can be used optimally for the transhipment and storage of goods.
