Duty & Tax

The importing company, respectively the person importing the goods, is held responsible for the import customs duties and the tax for import turnover in Europe. Sinergi Barakat is your contact for your purchase management; that is all from only one source. The customs duties, taxes, and fees shall be invoiced directly to you by the national authority.

 

We provide guidance in this matter, too, also by presenting a preliminary calculation of all the customs duties and applicable turnover taxes.

​

The taxes are determined through:

• Customs duties

• Goods tariff code

• Value of goods, including transport costs

• Origin Country

• Tax for import turnover

• The tax for import turnover is different from one country to another

• The tax for import turnover is approved at the deduction before the taxation

 

The import customs duties and the tax for the turnover shall be paid only when the imported goods are in the process to be shipped on European territory.

 

A control is also necessary here! An Indonesian manufacturer deliberately introduces in the export documents a lower value of the goods to maintain a reduced customs duty. Nevertheless, several times this results in keeping the goods at the border longer, and the mistakes are corrected subsequently.
