EU customs clearances

Thanks to EU customs clearance, faster throughput times can be achieved from receipt of the order to delivery of the goods. With several shipments per day to various EU customers, groupage transports and groupage customs clearance are possible, which has a positive effect on clearance costs. Direct delivery to the customer is possible, regardless of customs opening hours in the country of destination. Customs clearance fees are drastically reduced, especially for import customs clearance.

If you choose the EU customs clearance route, your customers will also benefit from this step.

Due to the self-declaration of the EU customer in the country of destination, the goods are only taxed retroactively with the periodic tax return. In order to be able to carry out EU customs clearance, the following conditions and obligations must be fulfilled. For an application or registration at the tax office or if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Concept

Application for a tax account in the EU

• Application for a Value Added Tax number (VAT number)

• Turnover identification number (VAT ID number)

• EORI number / customs number

In some EU countries, the application for a tax account and the associated Value Added Tax number (VAT number) and identification number (ID number) is only possible through a fiscal representative.Fiskalvertreter

Status

From a commercial law point of view, a Swiss or other non-EU customer with the above-mentioned requirements is NOT considered to be established in the EU, but can act as domiciled in the EU.

Mandatory reporting

• Reporting to foreign trade statistics

• Regular reporting of intra-Community supplies (Intrastat)

Billing

With the exception of deliveries to or from the country in which the registration took place, VAT may be deducted, provided that the customer is also registered.

E.g.

DE VAT ID No to DE VAT ID No > Invoice with German Value Added Tax

DE VAT ID No to NL VAT ID No > Invoice without Value Added Tax

The EU customer is obliged to prepare their Intrastat declaration in the same way as they are used to from other business relations within the EU.
