About us

History

Our consultants have acquired their customs expertise from various sources, including Customs authorities, the Tax Authority, prominent international organizations, and leading consulting firms. This diverse range of experiences, combined with exceptional consulting skills, positions us as trusted advisors and experts in maintaining control within the realm of customs and international supply chains.

 2010: The development of the ‘AEO in Control’ approach

In 2010, Hans Verheijen and Iris Snijders-Kroon, formerly of Capgemini, initiated the ‘AEO in Control’ approach through a pilot project with four evofenedex members. This innovative concept emphasizes client engagement, integrates AEO principles into corporate culture, and continues to shape our services. We proudly remain evofenedex’s exclusive AEO advisory partner.. . . .  

2012: The start of the company 

In October 2012, founders Iris Snijders-Kroon and Hans Verheijen established the company, initially offering Governance, Risk & Compliance services in customs and international trade. Over time, our portfolio expanded, leading to collaborations and welcoming new team members.

2014: Establishment of GRC Customs

As of January 1, 2014, the company was formally founded as GRC Governance, Risk & Compliance, later recognized as GRC Customs. . 

2020: Diversification into Customs Representation and Compliance Software

In 2020, we introduced two new business segments: GRC Customs Services B.V. for customs clearance and GRC4Trade B.V. which offers a SaaS solution for monitoring AEO and other customs authorizations.

2023 A new office in Leiden

From the start of the company, we have taken advantage of all opportunities to work virtually. This approach served us well, especially during the pandemic. However, with the influx of our young employees, we decided to rent office space after more than 10 years. After all, having a cup at the coffee machine is also an important part of working together. We chose Leiden as our home town. A new dynamic to match the company’s growth. In short, we are ready for the second decade of GRC Customs.
