How fast is unloading and customs clearance at the warehouse?

One of the most common questions we get:
“The truck has arrived at the warehouse — what happens next? How long does it take?”

Here’s how the process looks at our facility:


📦 Stages of arrival and clearance:

  1. Truck arrival at the warehouse (Janki)
    🚛 The truck enters a secure area. We have easy access and unloading ramps.

  2. Customs document submission
    📄 We handle all necessary paperwork: T1/T2, SAD, invoice, CMR, etc.
    Everything is submitted on-site — no need to visit a customs terminal.

  3. Customs procedure approval
    🕓 Typically takes 30–90 minutes, depending on the inspection type.

  4. Unloading and warehousing
    🏷️ Our team unloads, scans, and places the goods into storage efficiently.


⏱️ How long does the whole process take?

👉 On average, 1.5 to 3 hours from truck arrival to full completion.
Thanks to our licenses and in-house customs handling — everything is quick and smooth.
