About A1 Customs.

A1 Customs was founded in 1984 by Jan Nijhuis. Some time later his son Marco joined the company, where he has been actively involved for over 20 years now. Recently A1 Customs celebrated its 40th anniversary, a special milestone that underscores the continuity and development of the company.
From a small customs forwarder, A1 Customs has grown into a fully-fledged specialist in the field of customs matters. The strength of A1 Customs lies in the combination of many years of experience, practical knowledge and personal commitment. The tight-knit team consists of a strong mix of experienced specialists and young talent, enabling clients to rely on expert, high-quality and forward-thinking service with short lines of communication.

Our foundation

What drives us

Good customs handling starts with careful examination. What goods, what origin, what destination and what rules apply. We take that analysis seriously and prefer to ask one question too many beforehand rather than fix something afterwards. A declaration that is correct the first time saves you time and costs.

We combine that precision with experience. Customs rules change, and we keep up with them so you don't have to. Where possible we think along about the most efficient route through the formalities, without compromising on correctness.
