Cross-border e-commerce:
a growing challenge

Cross−border e−commerce has grown tremendously in the past years. This growth has accelerated further with the COVID crisis and Brexit. B2C imports through online platforms has brought unique challenges for the customs authorities and for economic operators, due to the large volume of small and low value consignments entering the EU. The European Commission has taken action to improve controls of this type of trade, to combat (VAT) fraud, and to ensure fair competition for EU businesses.

Alongside the lifecycle of a low value consignment throughout the supply chain, our advanced program on eCommerce explains the customs and VAT rules as applied to cross−border e−commerce. After the four−day program, the participants will understand the position of e−commerce in cross−border trade, will know the particularities of EU customs and VAT legislation as applied to e−commerce, and will be able to demonstrate compliance with taxes and product regulations upon entry of e−commerce goods.
