Gaston Schul heeft een nieuwe corporate website gelanceerd, www.gaston-schul.com, als onderdeel van haar rebranding campagne om de positionering van een full-service douanedienstverlener te benadrukken.

Vorig jaar introduceerden we een consulting-tak, een innovatiecentrum en een academy om een full-service partner voor alle douanezaken te zijn. Nu gaan we weer een stap voorwaarts: vanaf 2020 opereren al onze kantoren in heel Europa onder één naam: Gaston Schul.

Dezelfde naam en branding ondersteunt onze positie als een van de meest vooraanstaande douanespecialisten van Europa. Onze focus: het ontzorgen van verladers & vervoerders van alle douaneformaliteiten en het benutten van zakelijke kansen in de internationale handel. Met een duidelijke doelstelling, gemotiveerde mensen en een innovatieve aanpak. Dat noemen we ‘zekerheid in douanezaken’.

It requires that key commodities such as cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy and wood are deforestation free, legally produced, and covered by a due diligence statement before entering the EU market (Regulation 2023/1115, Article 3). However, despite its early adoption, the regulation’s full application has been postponed again.

The change affects non-EU importers such as those in the UK, Norway and Switzerland, who will need to register for French VAT. Although EU businesses are not directly affected, they should still review their operations to ensure smooth and compliant trade through France under the new rules.

For those working in international trade and compliance, this is more than just a caution – it’s a real operational risk. In this article, we explain why the EXW Incoterm creates challenges in the context of sanctions, export control, and VAT. But first, a brief overview of Incoterms® and how EXW works.
