Customs Law

International trade has become an important driver of success for companies. Companies face many challenges when conducting their cross-border business. We guide you safely through the complex national and international regulations.Medium-sized companies also increasingly have to deal with questions about customs procedures, classifications in the customs tariff, ATLAS and import VAT. In this context, many closely interwoven provisions of European and national law have to be taken into account. Ignorance or circumvention of the regulations can result in considerable sanctions in individual cases. In addition, there are reference agreements and agreements on tariff concessions between the EU and many third countries. Many companies are not aware of these regulations and, in addition to the correct classification in the customs tariff, they represent a good opportunity to reduce costs in the company.
