Whether by plane, ship, train or truck. Whether from Germany, to Germany or from a third country to a third country. Whether historical artifacts, collector’s items or live animals: Your customs clearance is in the best hands with us! “Customs clearance has been one of our areas of expertise for decades,” explains Stefan Seedorf, Team Leader Customs. “But the demand for expertise and speed has risen continuously. We have therefore decided to pool our expertise across the company.” The result is a central Rieck customs department that has state-of-the-art IT technology and works closely with customs. We also work closely with our international partners so that, for example, sea freight shipments from Asia that pass through Rotterdam are cleared through customs directly to the German final recipient.
Above the Grand Canyon
After the purchase, Robert Böttcher flew the plane to Seattle. He often spent time here on business and was able to combine business with pleasure. “The last trip I made there was with my family over the Grand Canyon to Mount Rushmore. That was unique!”
"The Beechcraft 35 Bonanza, built in 1947, is my dream machine."
In 2020, the Berliner finally wanted to bring the propeller plane to Germany. He enlisted the support of Rieck Sea Air Cargo International (RSACI) for this. “We organized the entire shipment in a 40-foot high-cube container to Bremerhaven, customs clearance and transport to Berlin via our logistics network Tandem Global Logistics,” says Tanja Feldvoß from RSACI in Hamburg, who oversaw the project. “It was a great collaboration. We were very happy to support Mr. Böttcher with all questions relating to the transport.”
Today, the plane is parked near Berlin. “Instead of flying over the Rocky Mountains, I now fly over the Baltic Sea,” says Robert Böttcher. “And thanks to Rieck, I can take off in my dream plane at any time!”
