Direct/indirect representation – Contracts

In our logistics sector there is a growing trend towards more prevention and greater legal certainty. As forwarders, we are increasingly confronted with far-reaching logistics contracts and general terms and conditions.

In view of the far-reaching liability of logistics service providers acting as customs representatives, FORWARD Belgium has developed the following model agreements:

  • Agreement/authorisation to act as direct representative with financial facilities
  • Agreement/authorisation to act as direct representative (without financial facilities)
  • Agreement/authorisation to act as indirect representative

The model agreements can be downloaded below in Dutch, French, English or German.
