Our experts advise both international corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises on all issues of foreign trade, customs and excise law. We offer you customized, interdisciplinary solutions – also on an international level.
To this end, we are proficient in all relevant legal frameworks for the safe import and export of goods and the treatment of products subject to excise duties. We do not only support you in legal matters, but also advise you on the management or organization of your company and your business processes in connection with customs, foreign trade or excise duties. Naturally, we also represent your interests in relation to the authorities and, in the event of a dispute, before national and European courts.

We will be happy to advise and support you on all customs related issues, including:
Our consulting services on the subject of excise taxes are available here
In addition to day-to-day business issues, compliance is playing an increasingly important role. For example, companies must ensure that the respective departments are appropriately organized and also review this on a regular basis in order to avoid liability on the part of the management and thus the company due to a breach of organization.
To this end, we can offer you management support, organizational consulting and – in cooperation with Baker Tilly auditors – audits and checks:
