The main overall obligations are: Lawyers and Experts on Import Exports are taken over
A chisel fell after months of uncertainty. Customs duties for products balanced to the United States are clearly improved and companies in the European Union will have to be amortized in ingenuity. Tax lawyers and specialized companies are in the first line.
After months of turbulence and fierce society in the European Union, they finally know which sauce they will eat. It will be 15% for everyone, with a categorical, negotiated leg on foot.
If companies in many sectors in France are worried about these increasing taxes, the profession uses it: Import-Export experts, experts in the supply chain and tax lawyers.
Logically, experts are increasingly required. And months.
“We have been using us regularly since April. Society are worried,” recognizes Marie Fernet, a legal law expert and customs law.
What strategy has won so far?
“In the last few months, it has been forced to wait for -a -see the rules that are constantly evolving. We were expecting 1 August. Except for companies that operated in steel and aluminum, which have already seen tax at 25, then 50%pays,” continues the lawyer.
The same bell in Fidal Business Law Office, where hired Acodad, tax lawyer, is reported by client companies that internally frozen into the result of negotiations between Brussels and Washington.
This did not prevent them from starting negotiations with partners, suppliers and customers to try to limit the final price increase. A temporary increase in cells to 10% was partially absorbed by limiting on the edges or negotiations with third parties, providing an expert.
15% or end of waiting -a -viz
But 15%, inertia is no longer sustainable.
Since the announcement of the final customs obligations with one rate of 15%, the company will have to adapt because 15% are too much. We do not have companies that are 15% margin, “Akodad is concerned.
For Marcie Reyno -Dalle, the patron saint of a fiscal, specialized company that provides operating aid in indirect taxation, the impact is certain on types of statements – both in delivery and exports.
“Flows and values are already undergoing binding countermeasures, confirming a young woman. The supplier chain has not changed yet. Some companies have tried to predict the most by transporting more stocks before entering new rights.
Among febrile companies is a large part of the French export substance. Small and medium -sized enterprises, ETIS, large companies in industries as diverse as exports of wine, processing industry, spare parts for cars, wholesalers, robotics … Almost all sectors relate. Although all companies do not have a capacity for reaction or the same striking power.
“Some companies are resigned from these new rules. It is clear that the economic instability and the certainty of a slightly painful increase have been made. However, most customers of different companies – taxes, accounting or specializing in the supply chain – are trying to know whether there are ways to circumvent customs or at least lighten the bill.
When it comes to circumventing the rules of the game, the game promises to be tight.
“We will not do a miracle, warns Marie Fernet. We are entering a new order of world trade. Free trade as we know is completed”.
So how do you get away? “There are three parameters to be considered. The value of a good for which the tax, origin, that is, the place of production of imported property and ultimately customs position, that is, the category to which the product belongs to,” says analysts.
Play with settings
In this context, according to Marie Fernet, mastering the customs foundations is more than ever. “We must first verify that the products have been well classified. For example, steel and aluminum tables will be taxed by another 50% of the right to steel and aluminum, while the seats of the same material will not be any other rights … So sometimes we can surprise”.
“Once the geographic width is no longer customized, it is possible to play in the category to which the product belongs to hired acodad.
Method of relocating part of production to the American continent – and to some extent to prove the reindustrialization strategy claiming Donald Trump.
Another option is to play with value, especially to reduce it with the US “first sales” mechanism that is no longer used in the European Union. This valuation method allows you to import real estate based on the price of an initial transaction during the sale chain with several intermediary workers rather than the total value paid by the importer to the final seller.
Change the scheme of production and distribution
For a lawyer at Marseille Bar, there is another opportunity to play on customs.
“For example, for a raw material obtained in the European Union and then decide to work in the UK, which benefits from the price set at 10%.”
Elections that are not just modifications and impose to companies to review their production strategy and their distribution scheme. And that are not accessible to a certain industry, including agro-industrial industries. VIN and alcohol producers cannot play the transformation of the raw material or the origin of the product.
There is still some hope for a certain industry or product categories such as semiconductors or pharmacy. Because the decision is not yet frozen. In any case, companies expect that the way with pitfalls, between the revision of their distribution system, the management of their industrial tracks, strict negotiations with their intermediaries. Things that aren’t overnight. “In this problem period, you must speed up the decision -V business to provide more votes to support functions, provide more space to the director of the supplier chain,” recommends the CEO of Fiscal.
“Customers will wake up, but it is also a summer break, smiles hired acodad. Some factories are idle, there are arrested production pages …”. The structuring decision will be waiting for a return from the holiday.
