Customs clearance in Slovakia

In short

We file declarations ourselves rather than passing them to a third-party broker, which is why we can answer a classification question the same hour. By default we act as a direct representative: the declaration is in your name, you are the declarant, and you carry the customs debt.

We file it, not a broker

Homola Cargo is a Slovak legal entity registered in Bratislava and holds, or is in the process of obtaining, its own customs authorisation. Declarations are prepared and submitted by us. If a code is wrong or a document is missing, you are talking to the person who can fix it.

Who is liable

As a direct representative we act in your name and on your behalf. You are the declarant and you carry the customs debt. We advance duty and import VAT as a payment service and pass them through at cost with the customs receipt attached; that is not a transfer of liability. Where you are not established in the EU and therefore cannot be the declarant, we can act as indirect representative, which is a different arrangement with different liability — see the representation page.

What this costs

Per declaration, plus per extra tariff line Duty and import VAT are separate: we advance them and pass them through at cost with the customs receipt attached.

Fee	Unit	Price

Customs duty and import VAT are not included above. They are advanced on your behalf and passed through at cost with the customs receipt attached.

Your goods stay in Slovakia, so procedure 42 does not apply and Slovak import VAT is payable at the border.

Minimum order 120 EUR. Rates hold for 7 days; freight moves weekly, so anyone quoting a fixed annual price is guessing.

Every line we charge is on the pricing page, with three worked examples.
