โ“ Frequently asked questions

Do you handle relocations (removal goods)?

Yes!

When you transfer your regular place of residence from a non-EU country to the EU, it is necessary to declare the personal goods (including your vehicle) that you are bringing with you to customs.

If all conditions are met, the customs authorities may grant you an exemption from the import taxes in question when importing your personal belongings.

Do you act as a VAT fiscal representative?

Yes!

Non-established taxable persons performing VAT-taxable operations in Belgium (such as the importation of goods) can appoint a fiscal representative instead of registering for VAT themselves.

One of the practical advantages is that the represented party does not need to obtain its own Belgian VAT number for the covered operations.

D+TB is authorised to act as a fiscal representative for non-established entities in Belgium and uses a model agreement consistent with the applicable administrative framework.

Do you act as an indirect representative?

No. We act exclusively as a direct representative.

Do you arrange NCTS transit outside Belgium?

Yes. We can open NCTS transit for routes within the EU and in countries participating in the Common Transit Convention such as the United Kingdom and France.

โ€‹

Can you help obtain customs authorisations?

Yes. We assist with new authorisation applications and with maintaining existing ones (including AEO processes).
