Advice on customs and tobacco tax
Track & Trace
Health warnings and plain packaging
These services can be added separately as needed. Track & Trace is required for shipments to other EU countries and for delivery after taxation.
Import

Into the EU. Four routes for your goods.

Your goods are imported into Germany and then held in our tax warehouse. From there, they continue as needed:

01

Stay in the tax warehouse

Your goods are stored with us in the tax warehouse in Munich. Storage is subject to a fee.

02

On to an EU country

We ship the goods under tax suspension via EMCS to the distributor in the destination country, for example in Austria, with UPIs, meaning Track & Trace.

03

Pay tax in Germany

We pay German tobacco tax on the goods and deliver directly to B2B customers or wholesalers, also with Track & Trace.

04

To another tax warehouse

If a company can't clear the regulatory hurdles itself, we import on its behalf and forward the goods to its tax warehouse.

Export

Out of the EU. With freight forwarders and paperwork.

We work with freight forwarders and deliver wherever your goods need to go.

Documents

We take care of the paperwork the importing country requires:

Certificates of origin from the Chamber of Commerce (IHK)
Health certificates
Apostilles
Further documents depending on the country of import

Key markets

Many customers in Switzerland and the Middle East:

Kuwait
Saudi Arabia
We also export to the United Kingdom (UK): we implement its separate Track & Trace system.
