Clarity
One complete view of your customs and trade across every market we cover, so you can see your cost, your status and your risk in one place instead of chasing them.
Customs & Trade. Controlled.
Customs should be an advantage, not an overhead. More than a customs broker, Gaston Schul runs your import, export, transit, advisory and technology as one operation across Europe. The result is customs and trade you run with clarity, control and confidence.

THE PROBLEM
Customs and trade is fragmented. That is what we fix.
For most businesses trading across Europe, customs grew one country and one broker at a time. The result is a setup nobody designed, and it quietly costs money, time and control.
Too many brokers
A different broker in each country means many contacts, many invoices and no single standard, so nobody owns the whole picture, and the overhead just to run it adds up.
Costs you cannot see
Duty, import VAT and the price of errors are spread across markets and spreadsheets, so the total cost is hard to see and the savings go unclaimed.
No real visibility
Status sits in inboxes and phone calls rather than in front of you, so a held shipment becomes a surprise instead of something you saw coming.
Gaps an auditor will find
Inconsistent classifications, thin records and weak controls across markets are exactly what an audit looks for, and the exposure lands on you.
WHAT CHANGES
From fragmented to controlled.
We bring the whole of your customs into one operating model, and run it to one standard across Europe. That turns scattered activity into three things you can feel.
Control
One standard, the right controls and central coordination, so customs is governed and consistent everywhere we run it, not reinvented country by country.
Confidence
Customs you can plan with rather than react to, so you can make sourcing, pricing and growth decisions backed by good data and proof.
OUR SERVICES
Full-service customs and trade, one operating model.
From day-to-day clearance to the advice and technology around it, every service runs on the same operating model, so the parts work as one rather than as separate suppliers.
Customs Clearance
Import, export, transit and warehousing declarations filed accurately, to one standard across the markets we cover.
Customs & Trade Advisory
Classification, origin, duty, VAT and compliance expertise, so you pay what you owe, claim what you can, and stay on the right side of the rules.
Customs Technology
The Digital Portal and the data behind it, so you have up-to-date status, documents and reporting in one place.
Customs Control Tower
A single point of contact orchestrating your markets and brokers, with consolidated reporting and one invoice across countries.
Customs Academy

The Lean Customs Method
How we get you there
in five steps.
-
1
Standardise
We bring your customs onto one consistent process and standard, so each market runs the same way rather than its own way.
-
2
Check
We move the work onto our technology and the Digital Portal, cutting manual entry and the errors that come with it.
-
3
Visibility
With one standard and one system, you get a single, up-to-date view of status, cost and risk across the markets we cover.
-
4
Intelligence
That clean, connected data turns into insight: where the cost sits, where the risk is, and where the savings are.
-
5
Continuous improvement
We keep refining the operation, so it gets better year on year rather than simply being maintained.
WHO WE HELP
Every team has a different customs challenge.
The same operating model, told in the terms that matter to you. Find the view that fits your role.
From the very beginning, Gaston Schul showed a clear improvement in both speed and quality. The communication is straightforward and reliable, and the transition was smooth. It is a partnership we can depend on.
