Michaela MerzLeave a comment

539368_web_R_by_Wandersmann_pixelio.deDepuis le 1er mai 2016, l’Union européenne (UE) a mis en oeuvre un nouveau code des douanes. Le point sur les impacts de cette réforme pour les entreprises suisses avec Michel Anliker, Senior Manager – Customs and Global Trade chez PwC.

Ce nouveau code s’applique à l’ensemble des vingt-huit pays de l’UE. Les entreprises suisses qui font du commerce avec ces pays sont donc touchées si elles importent dans l’UE, si elles y ont une filiale ou si elles font des transactions avec l’UE pour des biens qui y transitent, même s’ils sont facturés en Suisse.

According to the new UCC provisions that will enter into force as of 1 May 2016, if goods are put and stored into a customs warehouse in which VAT and customs duties are suspended, it is understood that the value for declaration purposes will be the one of the sale occurring when the goods are leaving the customs warehouse.

Some marry never, other several times so that perhaps on average people actually marry once. And if I only do it once, I would like it to be something special. And that’s what Erik also wanted. He had left all wedding preparations to his future wife. She was better in organising anyway and had more fantasy. But the suit, his suit, that was his responsibility. Read More »
