Transit declaration
A T1 transit document is a customs document used when transporting non-EU goods from one customs post to another within the EU. This document allows the goods to remain under customs supervision during transport without having to pay VAT and import duties.
Export declaration
Exporting goods from the Netherlands or Belgium to a foreign country can be a lucrative venture, but it requires preparation and paperwork. Export declaration is a crucial step in the export process, where you complete and submit the necessary documentation to customs.
Import declaration
If you import goods from a country outside the EU, chances are you will have to deal with Customs and file an import declaration. This is a mandatory declaration you must file with Customs, in which you indicate the nature and value of the goods. This allows Customs to determine whether import duties and VAT are due and whether other measures may be required, such as inspection of the goods.
