CB Customs Broker handles customs clearance for perishables for Lufthansa Cargo

Since July, CB Customs Broker has been handling customs clearance for Lufthansa Cargo’s “Perishables toDoor” service. The customs broker is now responsible for all customs-related processes in Frankfurt, Munich and Brussels.

The Perishable toDoor service ensures fast and reliable delivery of temperature-sensitive goods from around the world. Whether it’s mangoes from Mexico, roses from Kenya or papayas from Brazil, shipments arrive by air and continue by road to destinations across Europe.

CB Customs Broker takes care of customs clearance for all goods staying in Germany and issues T1 documents for transit shipments. The customs broker also coordinates with the relevant authorities such as the Plant Protection Service, the Federal Office for Agriculture, and the Veterinary Office, ensuring that all documentation is in order.

“Hardly any other products require the kind of precision that is required for the customs clearance of perishable goods. That precision is exactly our strength,” says Uwe Glunz, Managing Director at CB Customs Broker. “We’re pleased to support Lufthansa Cargo and to offer this service to other customers as well, further strengthening our role in time-sensitive customs services across Europe.”
