Transit declarations.

Goods entering the EU do not have to be cleared immediately. The goods can be stored in a bonded warehouse. A transport document, named T1 document, is required for customs goods that are transported within or outside the EU.

Declarations

Excise declarations.

The excise duty of goods is done via an excise declaration and is necessary as soon as excise goods are sold in the Netherlands. Excise tax returns are tax returns filed by companies that produce, trade, or import excisable goods. These returns are filed with the tax authorities and are based on the consumption or sale of these excisable goods in a given period. Excise tax returns are important because they form the basis for calculating and collecting excise taxes, which are a significant source of revenue for many countries. Failure to file excise tax returns correctly can result in fines and penalties.


Declarations

Customs declarations.
