Importing or exporting
If you are proposing to or already import goods from outside the European Union to the EU, then there are a number of areas where we may well be able to help you.
Customs law is the same throughout all 27 member states of the EU. Customs duties are the income of the European Commission, not individual Exchequers, and the legislation is directly applicable from Brussels.
If you are exporting goods from the UK to a destination outside the EU, then there are both opportunities and obstacles.
You must negotiate Customs barriers at export and your customer must negotiate with his customs authority at import. In addition, you may wish to reclaim any duty you have paid on imported goods used to manufacture your exports; and you will want to make sure that your customer does not pay more duty than necessary at import at the other end.
At the same time, you must make sure that you comply with all the legal formalities.
We can help you.
