Customs Clearance Košice Freight Hub

About Košice

Košice anchors the eastern end of Slovakia's D1 motorway, roughly 20 km from the Hungarian border and 80 km from Ukraine, which makes the city a natural staging point for freight moving across three borders at once. The city is home to US Steel Košice, one of Europe's largest integrated steel producers, generating heavy inbound raw-material and outbound finished-steel volumes that anchor the region's freight demand alongside a growing technology and manufacturing base.

Freight arriving from Serbia travels under a T1 common transit declaration through Hungary, typically crossing into Slovakia near Milhošť, and is closed at a designated customs office in Košice on arrival. Fin Partner opens the T1 at the Serbian load point and coordinates its closure through the Košice customs office, so a steel-industry shipment or an automotive-parts load isn't held for paperwork that should have travelled with the truck. Goods remaining in Slovakia proceed to a full import declaration with duty and VAT assessed at the same desk.
