Haven’t you seen the new face of TDX yet? Look this way
If you've read our story, you'll remember that the TDX site was ravaged by fire in 2014. An ordeal for all TDXers, which made them even stronger than before! Once a hero, always a hero. TDX’s activities survived, and normal service was resumed two days after the incident. In 2016, the new face of TDX emerged and the adventure continued.

“Change is now” could be the customs department’s motto.
New organisation, training courses, new offices, new software and IT tools. Because your customs clearance is our concern.

2003
It all started at a business meeting in 2003
Guy, a salesman who travelled the roads of the Mulhouse region at the wheel of his white Peugeot 206, took the crazy gamble of saying, in the middle of a meeting: “What if we opened our own customs clearance office?” In point of fact, nothing of the sort existed. These few words were the beginning of our wonderful story. A few months later, TDX – called TD EXPRESS SERVICES by its first employees – saw the light of day.

2008
That year, the desire to create our own customs service became a reality.
Goods came from all over Europe: France, Germany and England. Yet there were only three people managing the customs activity. The secret of their success: dedication, trust and quality of service.

2009
The adventure continued
Packages from the Netherlands were arriving en masse! That was not all; TDX adapted its services and opened them up to BtoC shipments as well. Pierre, Martine, Sophie, Nicolas and many others have entrusted the customs clearance of their parcels to TDX. Tomorrow, this could be you too!
