I’m going down a bit of an EU/Customs rabbit hole as one of the parts we manufacture at work and previously delivered to a UK automotive company is now required to go to a company in Germany which will carry out some final assembly before shipping back to the UK. (we are now selling to the German company direct, it’s not a temporary export)
I thought it would be relatively simple as we’re now supplying straight to Germany as a direct customer and shipping (at the moment at least) on their UPS account. There seems to be some confusion though over whether we need to submit export declarations or set anything else up, or if we can simply ship with Commercial Invoice copies (which contain a declaration statement) as we would for a ‘normal’ delivery going to Europe these days or if we’ve underestimated how much more process/paperwork is involved.
Does anyone on here do anything similar/have any experience of this?
