Customs Support Algeciras participates in Fruit Attraction 2026 as one of the 24 companies from the port community accompanying the Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA) at IFEMA Madrid. Its presence at the fair is supported by an activity directly related to the international flows of agricultural products: the customs clearance of fruits and vegetables and the documentation management that accompanies the operations of import, export, and transit.
The Algeciras office operates on the structure of Transit 2000, integrated since 2022 into Customs Support Group. From Algeciras, it provides customs representation services, import and export declarations, transits, special regimes, ATA carnets, and consulting in foreign trade.
Within this activity, Customs Support expressly identifies the import of fruits and vegetables as one of the areas covered by its structure in Spain. This specialization places the Algeciras office in the documentary and regulatory section of the horticultural chains that use the port to access the European market or continue to other destinations.
The work of the customs representative begins before the goods can leave the port area. The tariff classification, preparation and submission of declarations, review of commercial documentation, and coordination of transit procedures are part of an operation especially conditioned by deadlines when it comes to fresh products.
In the case of imports of fruits and vegetables from third countries, these procedures must also be coordinated with the official controls that correspond to each product. The Customs Support office in Algeciras acts in this context as a customs interlocutor for agricultural companies, importers, exporters, and logistics operators who need to complete the necessary requirements before continuing transport.
The company has certification as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) and ISO 9001 and combines the activity of its team in Algeciras with the international network of Customs Support. The group has more than a hundred offices and brings together more than 1,700 professionals specialized in customs in different European markets, according to its corporate data.
This structure allows operations initiated or cleared in Algeciras to be integrated into a network that covers different points of entry, exit, and distribution of goods in Europe. For the horticultural trade, characterized by chains that can combine maritime transport, road, and successive customs operations, coverage in different countries facilitates the coordination of procedures when goods cross several jurisdictions.
The activity of Customs Support Algeciras also includes other sectors subject to specific foreign trade requirements, including hazardous goods and the export of live animals. However, its participation in Fruit Attraction is especially linked to the clearance of agricultural products and the regulatory needs associated with the entry of fruits and vegetables through the Port of Algeciras.
This work takes place in an environment where documentary digitalization is increasingly important. The APBA presents during Fruit Attraction the project of interoperability between the Digital Trade Platform of SIECA for Central America and the Port Community System of the Port of Algeciras, aimed at facilitating the electronic exchange of health certificates and documentation associated with goods from Central America.
For customs representatives, the early availability of documentation at the origin allows preparing part of the files before the cargo arrives at the port and subsequently coordinating the clearance with the official controls that may be necessary.
Customs Support Algeciras thus integrates into the business representation displaced to Madrid from the field of customs services, within a port community that jointly presents maritime and land transportation, refrigerated storage, inspection, handling, and distribution for international fruit and vegetable chains.
