Mastering Customs, Imports & Exports

The movement of investigational medicinal products (IMPs) and comparators across borders can be a complex undertaking with customs regulations, import/export requirements, and VAT considerations.

CSI supports its clients by removing this complexity and ensuring that clinical supplies move efficiently, compliantly and without delay.

Global expertise, local execution

Our team has extensive experience navigating country-specific regulations, documentation requirements, and import/export procedures, shipping into the EU, US, or emerging markets. We ensure all regulatory and customs requirements are met from the outset to reduce the risk of delays at borders.

End-to-end customs management

CSI manages the full customs process on behalf of our clients, including:

• Preparation and review of all shipping and customs documentation
