Zoll Plus Dienstleistungs GmbH

What Zoll Plus Dienstleistungs GmbH does

Zoll Plus Dienstleistungs GmbH is an independent Austrian customs brokerage and foreign trade consulting firm headquartered in Wels, Austria, with operational branch offices at Linz Airport (Hörsching) and Vienna Airport (Air Cargo Center). Founded in 2011 by three shareholders and currently employing approximately six staff under managing directors Reinhold Doblhammer, Manuel Konrad-Reininger, and Helmut Weinzinger, the company delivers customs clearance and compliance services to import/export businesses and freight forwarders. It holds AEO F certification (Certificate No. ATAEOF155G14J1) from Austrian customs authorities, which certifies compliance with EU customs security and financial solvency standards, and operates as a registered Austrian GmbH (Firmenbuch FN 369019a, UID ATU66708146).

The company's core offerings span four service lines: Zollabfertigung (customs clearance covering EU import/export declarations, transit documents such as T1/T2/T2L/T2F/T2LF, and Carnet-TIR procedures); Beratung (advisory services on customs authorizations, origin and preference rules, export control, tariff classification, customs valuation, and audit preparation); Speditionspartner (independent customs services for freight forwarders, including preference certificates EUR.1, ATR, and Form A); and Zolltarif (binding tariff information / VZTA applications). Revenue is generated through transaction fees on processed declarations and professional services fees for consulting and classification work. There is no proprietary technology platform; the operating model is service-delivery driven and dependent on the expertise of its specialist team.

Zoll Plus differentiates on independence and neutrality, explicitly stating it does not conduct its own transport operations, thereby preserving client data confidentiality from logistics competitors. It offers centralized customs clearance across Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic — leveraging partner networks in the latter three — providing a single point of contact for cross-border filings. Go-to-market is direct B2B with physical presence at Austrian air cargo hubs, complemented by a content-driven website (in German and English) and membership in the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, Fachgruppe Spedition/Logistik.

Direct peers

• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: Germany-headquartered global forwarder with customs brokerage operations across Europe. Comparable to Zoll Plus on customs clearance and trade compliance service offerings for SME and forwarder clients.
• Logwin: European transport and logistics provider with a dedicated customs and forwarding division. Comparable to Zoll Plus on cross-border clearance in Central Europe and forwarder-customized customs services.
• Rhenus Logistics: Mid-sized European3PL with a dedicated customs services division offering clearance, tariff work, and consulting across DACH and beyond. The most direct comparability to Zoll Plus's combination of clearance and consulting for freight forwarders and SMEs.
• Gebrüder Weiss: Family-owned Austrian-headquartered logistics provider with deep customs and forwarding expertise. Closely comparable to Zoll Plus in geography (Austria-led), customer base (regional forwarders/importers), and customs service mix.
• Customs Support Group: Netherlands-headquartered pure-play customs services broker operating across Europe. Closely comparable to Zoll Plus on business model (pure customs brokerage, no transport) and service mix (clearance, tariff, consulting).

Broad incumbents

• Dachser: German family-owned logistics group with European road transport, air/sea freight, and customs services. Comparable to Zoll Plus on customs clearance offerings in DACH, though typically delivered alongside Dachser's own transport solutions.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics group with customs services in DACH and Central Europe. Comparable to Zoll Plus on EU customs clearance and forwarding integration, though DSV bundles these into broader supply-chain contracts.
• DHL Global Forwarding: Deutsche Post DHL's air/ocean freight division operates customs brokerage and trade-compliance services across Europe. Overlaps with Zoll Plus on import/export declarations, transit documents, and AEO-related services, but competes from a far larger scale.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global top-3 freight forwarder and 3PL with a sizable customs brokerage division across Europe, including Austria. Comparable to Zoll Plus because it offers EU customs clearance, tariff classification, and trade compliance — but as part of a much broader transport and contract-logistics portfolio.
• DB Schenker: German-headquartered3PL with a strong European land-transport network and customs brokerage capability. Comparable to Zoll Plus on Central European customs clearance and freight-forwarder integration.
