Frequently Asked Questions

Erion Group is an import and export company based in Zografou, Athens, Greece. We run the whole process for businesses: finding and vetting suppliers, ordering, quality control, transport, customs clearance, storage and delivery. For exports we find buyers abroad and handle documents, export clearance and transport.

Mainly from China and the rest of Asia, but we handle imports from any country outside the EU. We deliver anywhere in Greece.

It depends on the product. The cost is made of customs duty (a percentage of the CIF value, depending on the TARIC code), 24% import VAT on the value plus duty, port charges and the clearance fee. Before any order we give you an estimate of the total landed cost.

Roughly: sea freight 30–45 days to Piraeus, air freight 5–10 days. Add the supplier's production time and customs clearance, which usually takes a few days when the documents are in order.

Yes. Any business importing or exporting outside the EU needs an EORI number. For a Greek business it is usually "EL" plus the VAT number (ΑΦΜ), activated through AADE. We help you get it before your first shipment.

Yes. For quantities that do not fill a container we use consolidated cargo (LCL), where you pay only for the space your goods take. For very small or urgent cargo there is air freight.

We inspect at the factory before loading, on a sample based on the AQL standard, and send you a report with photos. The inspection happens before the order balance is paid, so problems can still be fixed.

We work with partner warehouses in Athens and Thessaloniki for short or long-term storage and final delivery to the customer.

Usually by bank transfer: a deposit (often 30%) with the order and the balance before loading, after the quality inspection. For large amounts a letter of credit (L/C) can be used.

Yes. We help Greek businesses sell abroad: finding buyers and distributors, export documents and certificates of origin, export clearance and transport to the destination.

For many categories yes, e.g. electrical and electronic goods, toys, machinery, PPE. The importer must hold the declaration of conformity and put their details on the product or packaging. We check the supplier's documents before ordering.
