Understanding customs and VAT routes, and the impact they can have on your business, is increasingly important. Navigating these requirements requires a clear understanding of international customs regulations and the influence of the current political and trade environment. Orphan Drug Consulting combines expertise in customs and VAT legislation with pharmaceutical-specific regulatory knowledge. We support organisations across key areas including tariff classification, customs valuation, origin determination, export and import controls, Incoterms, and Import VAT/GST requirements, ensuring compliance and continuity of supply.
The WTO Valuation Code sets out the rules for determining the value of imported and exported goods for customs purposes. We support clients in understanding these requirements, reviewing their products, and applying the correct valuation methodology to ensure compliance. In an evolving trade environment, including the impact of US tariffs and potential additional measures, a robust customs valuation programme is essential.
An EORI number is required to import or export goods into or from the EU or UK. Without a valid EORI number, shipments cannot clear customs. We support clients by reviewing supply routes to determine whether an EORI number is required and by guiding them through the registration process, ensuring this requirement is addressed efficiently and without disruption to supply.
Import and export activities require the correct customs and VAT/GST registrations to be in place prior to shipment. Businesses not established in the EU cannot export from the EU and require an indirect representative to import goods. We support clients in identifying these requirements and working with appropriate third parties to meet EU import and export obligations.
Our customs and VAT expertise ensures your international supply chain remains compliant and uninterrupted.
