ALS's expertise in customs documentation and logistics was vital in the successful deployment of Convoy 07, which departed from the port of Dover for Ukraine earlier this year. The convoy included one fire control vehicle, two vans, seven fire command units, one curtain side and 21 fire appliances.
To ensure donations were transported legally and efficiently, ALS worked in close partnership with the UK’s Border Force, HMRC, charity Fire Aid and various fire chiefs across the UK. ALS provided all customs documentation for the convoy, including delivery notes and manifests, while briefing 120 fire fighters on customs procedures to ensure the convoy could move legally and without delay.
“We were delighted to support this important mission, which is testament to the power of collaboration in providing humanitarian support,” said Richard Catt, international relations director, ALS.
The ALS Group operates globally as a customs services provider. Its team of over 500 professionals in 38 locations supply comprehensive and compliant customs solutions worldwide. The company has a history of facilitating humanitarian aid across Europe.
