Customs advice that is clear, legally sound and practically workable

International supply chains are becoming increasingly complex. New regulations, stricter controls, digitalisation and growing documentary requirements mean that even a small error can quickly have significant consequences.

DTB supports companies with targeted advice on customs, excise and compliance matters. We help you make legally correct decisions that also remain operationally workable.


Targeted advice for specific customs issues

Sometimes it is about one specific question. Sometimes it concerns a broader file or a structural optimisation of your processes. In both cases, sound advice is often decisive.

  • tariff classification of goods
  • origin and preferential treatment
  • customs valuation and valuation issues
  • authorisations and special procedures
  • excise duties and administrative obligations
  • controls, regularisations and discussions with the authorities
  • internal compliance and process optimisation

How can we help you?

Tariff classification

We assist you with questions relating to HS, CN and TARIC classification and help you substantiate your classification from both a technical and legal perspective.

Origin

We advise on preferential and non-preferential origin, proofs of origin, supplier’s declarations and the conditions for the correct application of preferences.

Customs valuation

We support you with questions relating to transaction value, related parties, assists, royalties, transport costs and other elements affecting the customs value basis.

Authorisations and special procedures

We help you choose, apply for, implement and follow up the appropriate customs authorisations and simplifications.

  • customs warehousing
  • inward processing
  • outward processing
  • end-use
  • AEO

Excise duties

We advise on excise goods, excise movements, warehouse arrangements, exemptions and the correct administrative framework for your flow.

Controls and regularisations

Are you faced with a control, a request for information, an official report or a regularisation? We assist you with the analysis of the file and the further course of action.

Compliance and internal processes

We do not only look at the customs formality itself, but also at the wider organisation surrounding it. In this way, we help you reduce risks and align your processes more effectively with the applicable rules.
