My name is Zoltán Czakó, I am the owner and Managing Director of ONE LOG Hungary Ltd.

Today when the Era of Dynamism is replacing the Era of Shape, speed, accuracy and efficiency of desk work is a paramount. Over thousands of years goods transport hasn’t changed significantly. While caravans and horse-carts have been replaced by the streamlined aircrafts and cargo vessels, carrying goods in faultless condition and cost-efficiently from point A to point B within the shortest possible route and time, as fundamental point, remains the same.

We developed our services compared to the market requirements, which provide unlimited opportunity into the treatment of different transportation and other additional services.

We grouped together further below a number of international delivery terms repeatedly occurring in the air, sea, multimodal and road transport practice. To help the easier understanding of the bare rules and to give a better guidance, we didn’t just invoke the clauses here as they exactly appear in the latest “classical” INCOTERMS 2012, we rather used our own terms to interpret the day-to-day best practices.

Instead of decreasing, the importance of customs procedures has significantly increased since Hungary joined the EU. After the fall of the national borders the role and the responsibility of customs staff have changed, customs clearance and administration can now be similarly performed in other countries. Some procedures have partly disappeared, some of them have changed and new mechanisms have also been introduced in the common market. Paper-based declaration today is replaced by the up-to-date electronic customs clearance performed independently from the geographical location.
