Customs Support Nordic Cluster: The Powerhouse of Scandinavian Trade
The Nordic region, known for its stunning landscapes, innovative spirit, and efficient trade practices, also benefits from tight economic activities between its EU and non-EU member states. With the acquisition of Nordic operations, we have finally formed the biggest cluster in the region, now known as the Nordic Cluster Hub, a leading force in customs expertise. This powerful Cluster Hub brings together Sweden, Finland, and Norway into a dynamic unit, supporting our customers in the region with greater efficiency.
To support our customers in this region with even greater effectiveness, CS Group united its forces into this Cluster Hub, which boosts the expertise of Sweden, Finland, and Norway into a powerful customs expert hub. With over 100 professionals handling more than 230,000 declarations annually, this customs Hub exemplifies collaboration, efficiency, and innovation. Beyond facilitating intra-European trade, its strategic positioning makes it a key player in non-EU customs operations, providing a competitive advantage in handling complex customs procedures.
Strength in Numbers: Key Figures That Matter
The Nordic Cluster represents the synergy of Sweden, Finland, and Norway – each country operating independently but seamlessly connected through shared expertise and resources. This interconnectedness of economic activities in the region allows us to offer centralised, integrated customs services, making it easier for customers to navigate both EU and non-EU trade operations. By grouping into this Alliance Hub, we enhance operational synergies and streamline customs processes, benefiting businesses with more efficient and cost-effective solutions across borders.
