I have received an examination order. Can the Trade Activator help me prepare?
Yes, the Trade Activator is a customs analytics solution that evaluates your customs activities during the audit period with regard to any risks. For this purpose, we request your customs data from the customs authority. After receiving the data, you will receive our evaluation within two to three weeks. The Trade Activator can also be used for risk analysis within the framework of tax compliance management systems (TCMS).
For which countries can I get an evaluation of imports and exports in the Trade Activator?
We can request the customs data of your imports and exports from the customs authorities not only in Germany, but also in other countries. This gives you a comprehensive analysis of your imports and exports, which provides information in the area of customs analytics as well as supply chain analytics.
Is the Trade Activator a solution for optimising the supply chain?
The Trade Activator analyses the customs aspects of your supply chain. You will find out which sourcing countries enable cost-efficient material procurement, which suppliers' purchases are associated with particularly high import duties, how the customs value of individual deliveries is made up and much more. Based on the analysis results, you can make qualified decisions about the most cost-efficient sourcing model from a customs and logistics perspective. The Trade Activator thus combines the advantages of a customs analytics and supply chain analytics solution.
What different analyses of my customs data does the Trade Activator offer?
The Trade Activator analyses your customs data, e.g. with regard to import and export volumes by sourcing country/destination market, supplier:in, customer:in, customs tariff numbers used, use of free trade agreements and customs preferences along the entire supply chain. Your customs data is analysed with regard to compliance with EU customs regulations (e.g. official customs tariff data, preference rules) in order to check the legal security of your import processes and to identify potential for optimisation.
