SGS Understands the Challenges of the Movement of Food Going in and out of the EU

SGS United Kingdom Ltd supports many companies within the food sector and Agro Merchants Group is one of the customers who we have helped with customs formalities, when moving their products into the EU from the UK. By working with SGS, Agro Merchants has saved on average 24 hours of transit time on each movement, which in turn lessens the impact on the products shelf life.

Paul Jukes, Managing Director for Agro Merchants says: "We have found SGS very professional in their approach, ensuring we have a robust solution for the export of goods from the UK. SGS have been able to make a very complicated requirement, simple and easy to administer with fantastic turnaround times. Their tiered approach to management- starting with brokerage right up to full automation, made it easy for us to facilitate the change. This affords us the opportunity to scale up to an integrated system in stages that reflect time and capability".
