Unlock greater transparency and legal certainty in EU customs valuation with binding valuation information (BVI) 🚀

Navigating customs valuation and transfer pricing in the EU can be challenging, especially with the ever-evolving regulatory landscape. That's why the European Commission introduced Binding Valuation Information (BVI) – a powerful tool designed to bring greater transparency, predictability, and compliance to international trade.

Why should you care about BVI?
Binding Valuation Information (BVI) provides businesses with legally binding decisions on customs valuation, ensuring uniform treatment of goods across all EU Member States. This leads to:

☑ Increased legal certainty
☑ Harmonised customs procedures
☑ Improved compliance
☑ More efficient trade operations

These changes are set to take effect in December 2027, making now the time to start preparing your business to this evolving customs framework.

As a full-service customs service provider, we assist in:

✅ Understanding customs valuation
✅ Assessing your customs valuation needs
✅ Ensuring compliance with evolving EU regulations

With tailored guidance from our experts, you can navigate the complexities of international trade and optimise your customs processes. Learn more about BVI in our full website article:
