The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) puts a price on carbon emissions and now applies to maritime transport, making carbon costs a permanent part of ocean freight rates. Closely linked to this, CBAM extends carbon pricing to goods imported into the EU from 2026. Together, these measures directly impact freight costs, landed prices and supply‑chain decisions. Koring Freight Forwarders helps businesses understand, manage and clearly communicate these carbon‑related logistics costs.
Incoterms determine who pays, who carries risk and who is responsible for transport and customs. A wrong Incoterm can lead to delays, hidden costs and disputes. Koring helps importers and exporters choose the right Incoterms in practice — aligned with transport, customs clearance and documentation — so shipments run smoothly, costs stay predictable and responsibilities are clear from origin to destination.
Koring Freight Forwarders ensures your goods move smoothly across borders with reliable logistics services, expert freight forwarding and fast, accurate customs clearance. Whether you ship nationally or internationally, we guide you through the correct transport conditions—AVC, FENEX or CMR—and handle all documentation and compliance for you.
The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires importers of carbon‑intensive goods to report the CO₂ emissions of their products. This means gathering supplier data, verifying documentation, and submitting accurate reports through the EU system.
Koring helps importers stay compliant by collecting and checking CO₂ data, managing documentation, coordinating with suppliers, and guiding companies through every step of the CBAM reporting process — ensuring smooth logistics and reliable compliance.

In 2026, major EU and Dutch customs reforms will reshape the transport sector. New rules introduce a €3 duty on low‑value imports, stricter digital pre‑arrival data requirements, and full implementation of systems like Centralised Clearance, CERTEX, and CBAM. These changes increase pressure on carriers and forwarders to improve data accuracy, documentation, and compliance. Transport companies must prepare for tighter controls, new environmental reporting obligations, and updated commodity codes to keep goods moving smoothly across borders.
