Stay updated and compliant
In a highly dynamic world, tariffs, rules, and regulations constantly change. It is very easy to fall into a situation unforeseen by most. Don’t be one of them.
Tax and customs authorities go several years back to check, and fines in the 13 million EUR class have been seen. So, skimping on the quality of your declarations and customs routines can be extremely costly.
A few more recent examples are tariffs, taxes, and regulations pertaining to imports and exports between China, the US, and Russia. But it goes way beyond these countries and requires deep insights into handling specific types of goods, assessing the value of the specific goods – or elements of a shipment – and, not least, knowing the rules and regulations of the countries involved.
Let us worry about fees, excise duties, new rules, local requirements, and other customs challenges on a local and global scale.
