Opening of a new customs company in France

16 July 2020 | World | Our solutions

Bansard International announces the opening of an entity dedicated to customs solutions in France. This creation is in line with the Group's development and the search for new services for customers.

Opening of a new customs company in France

BCS (Bansard Customs Solutions) was created in October 2019 and was based on the following observation:

  • More and more small and large companies are developing in import/export,
  • Very few freight forwarders invest in a customs product,
  • There is a real need for customers who are faced with a lack of customs experts available on the job market, which leads to an increasing desire to outsource,
  • There is a growing demand for compliance at customs and inter-company level.

BCS will therefore allow, on behalf of its customers, to set up a centralized customs clearance procedure called NCC (National Centralised Clearance).

Therefore, all the customer's customs clearance operations will be grouped on a single service provider, delays and costs can be optimized because the goods will be cleared through customs in ports or airports or directly in the customer's warehouses. Another benefit is the fact that we have a single point of contact for all flows with expertise in customs engineering (setting up customs warehouses, improvement procedures, AEO audit, customs classification and the optimization of supplier sourcing areas).

Finally, Bansard International group has developed the myBCS interface allowing customers to immediately access all their documents and also to:

  • A personalized and secured dashboard,
  • Access to the latest regulation,
  • Real-time visibility of customs clearance,
  • Archiving and access to various documents (invoice, packing list),
  • The integration of the customs declaration,
  • KPIs monitoring (number of annual declarations, amount of monthly duties and taxes, etc.),
  • Live Chat for an immediate answer.

Focus on the interview with Nicolas Mauger. The president of BCS. 

1/ In a few lines, present your career history.

I did a Master 2 in Customs Law and International Regulations, then I worked for 10 years in companies in the textile, furniture and decoration sector, as a customs manager. I then spent 4 years with a forwarding agent before embarking on the BCS adventure.

2/ "Is there a complementarity between the 2 structures Bansard and BCS and if so, what would it be? »

BCS is a sister company of Bansard, each company operates independently. At BCS, we offer a unique customs service provider, regardless of the number of forwarding agents. We can also carry out customs clearance in the customer's warehouse or in our own. All these services are advantages for the customer who loses less time for customs clearance and saves money by consolidating operations.

 

3/ What are the sectors of activity for BCS client companies?

We already have 9 clients to date. Their sectors of activity are textiles, high-quality bed linen, furniture, technological products, fiber leaders or garden and outdoor furniture.

 

4/ What is the volume processed and what are your future developments?

We have made 20,000 declarations since the launch and we plan to open a platform for the south of France (Lyon, Montpellier, Marseille) in order to stay close to the customer.

 

5/ Can you explain to us how the platform is being finalized (the notion of simplification, document archiving, monitoring of key indicators).

Our site offers you a personalized and secure space, access to regulatory watch, real-time visibility of customs clearance, the possibility of Live Chat for an immediate response but also a self-checking of declarations.

Our advantage: the implementation of a customs clearance procedure (DeltaG Domicilié) on behalf of the customer, called DCN (Dédouanement Centralisé National).
