EUDR FAQs
The EUDR has officially been passed and is in force since 29 June 2023. However, from 30 December 2025 any party exporting these goods to or from the European market must be able to prove that they do not come from a deforested area or are related to deforestation in any form. Meaning you have EUDR obligations from then on.
Extension of original implementation date
The obligations under the EUDR were originally supposed to come into effect by 30 December 2024 for large businesses and 30 June 2025 for micro and small businesses.
In response to requests from global partners, the European Commission had proposed an additional 12 months as a phased implementation period for the EUDR. This was approved by the European Parliament on 14 November 2024.
Despite this delay, we advise businesses to start preparing now. The IT system for registering due diligence statements is expected to be operational by December 2024.
CBAM FAQs
CBAM is the abbreviation for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. It is a legal mechanism for carbon adjustment at the border, that aims to achieve a CO2 correction by introducing an additional tax on goods imported into the European Union. In this way, the system ultimately ensures fair competition between EU companies and companies from outside the EU in terms of CO2 emissions.

Customs Warehousing FAQs
A customs bonded warehouse is a secure facility where imported goods can be stored without immediate payment of duties or taxes. Duties are only paid when goods leave the warehouse for domestic use. If the goods are re-exported, these charges are waived.
Fiscal Representation FAQs
A fiscal representative is typically required for businesses that are involved in taxable transactions in a country where they do not have a physical presence. This is often the case for companies engaged in cross-border trade within the EU, especially for VAT purposes. Non-EU businesses selling goods or services to EU customers, or involved in import/export activities within the EU, frequently need a fiscal representative to comply with local tax regulations, facilitate VAT registration, and handle tax declarations.
Excise Consumption FAQs
Excise duty is typically paid when a specific type of goods, often referred to as excisable goods, are manufactured, imported from the rest of the world or other member states, or sometimes sold. Common examples of such goods include alcohol, tobacco, and fuel. The duty is due at the time of production or importation, but the exact point of payment can vary depending on the country's regulations and the ability of your customs representative.
Transit Declarations FAQs
A T1 transit document is an EU customs procedure that can be used between the EU and Common Transit countries, which includes the UK. The document allows the movement of uncleared goods across international borders whilst delaying the need to pay for duties and submit customs declarations until they arrive at their final destination or are re-exported. This document also ensures that while the goods are in transit, they are under customs control.
Export Declarations FAQs
An EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number is required for all businesses importing or exporting goods in the UK or the EU. For the UK, you must have a GB EORI, and for Norway, you'll require a Norwegian Organisation Number instead. These are used by customs to identify traders and ensure compliance with customs procedures and regulations.
Import Declarations FAQs
To import goods into the UK or the EU, it's essential you have an EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number, along with the commercial paperwork. For UK shipments, you must have a GB EORI. For Norway, you`ll require a Norwegian Organisation Number instead.
