Even though there are regular ‘reforms’ in international trade in goods and in customs law, things are not getting any simpler. On the contrary, the regulatory challenge is growing. Even small inaccuracies can have consequences that can quickly cost you money. That is why we support you in customs duty matters from the first strategic decision to the clearing of a transaction.
And what if we ourselves come up against our limits? Then we bring specialists from our network on board at an early stage to get you to your goal.

- Assessment of transactions, contracts, Incoterms®, incl. effects on VAT registration liabilities in Switzerland or other countries
