Transfer of VAT upon import

If the importer starts to increase his imports from outside the EU, his accountant may submit a request for VAT transfer to the Tax and Customs Administration. As soon as this transfer is granted, VAT upon import will no longer have to be paid immediately, but can be settled later, when filing the VAT return. The importers VAT number will be amended in the Sagitta system and be recognised as such. The transfer licence is available from the Tax and Customs Administration. More information can be found on: You can of course also contact your Embassy Freight Rotterdam BV contact person.
