Import clearance
For import, your goods are released for free circulation in the EU. We determine the tariff code, the customs value and the duties, i.e. customs duty and import VAT, and submit the declaration electronically to German customs.
- Check of commercial invoice, packing list and proof of origin
- Tariff classification, customs value and duty calculation
- Declaration in the ATLAS system
Export declaration and exit confirmation
For exports outside the EU we file the export declaration. Once the goods have left the EU, you receive the exit confirmation, which proves the VAT-exempt export delivery.
Transit procedure
If goods are to be cleared at another customs office, we open a transit procedure. The goods then travel under customs supervision and duties are only due at destination.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an EORI number?
Yes. Every company importing into or exporting from the EU needs an EORI number. In Germany it is issued free of charge by customs.
What is the difference between customs duty and import VAT?
Customs duty depends on the tariff code of the goods. Import VAT corresponds to German VAT and can usually be reclaimed as input tax by businesses entitled to deduct it.
Do you offer customs clearance only, without transport?
Yes. Many clients use us only for customs clearance.
