The European Union offers a massive single market, but strict regulations like CE Marking, RoHS, and VAT compliance can be challenging. We act as your legal IOR across all 27 member states, managing customs declarations, EORI registration, and compliance so you don't need a local entity.
Strict regulations like CE Marking and VAT compliance require a local legal entity to handle declarations and liability.
Importing into the European Union requires navigating harmonized customs rules under the Union Customs Code (UCC) and specific national VAT laws. Authorities require a locally registered entity with an EORI number to act as the declarant and ensure products meet safety standards like CE.
Without a local IOR, foreign companies face shipment holds, fines, and an inability to reclaim import VAT. We eliminate these risks by handling every aspect of the import process across any EU member state.
We verify that products meet EU safety (CE), hazardous substance (RoHS), and chemical (REACH) standards before arrival.
We manage the calculation and payment of import duties and country-specific VAT rates directly to customs authorities.
We use our Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number to file customs declarations on your behalf.
