Customs probes Danzas AEI office
The U.S. Customs Service is investigating the Atlanta office of Danzas AEI for possible improprieties.
Customs officials in Atlanta declined to comment, but Danzas AEI spokeswoman Candace Bouchard confirmed that Customs officials visited the company’s Atlanta office on Wednesday. “There is an isolated investigation in Atlanta into clearance procedures,” she said.
Bouchard, based at the company’s U.S. headquarters in Darien, Conn., said she had no further details.
Danzas AEI, one of the world’s largest freight forwarding organizations, is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland. It was created through the merger last year of Danzas and Air Express International, which was the largest U.S.-based air forwarder. Danzas AEI is owned by Deutsche Post World Net.
