Fiscal representation

By using a tax representative, you do not have to set up a company in European territory, have employees locally or own a physical location. Moreover, no profit tax needs to be paid locally either.

Widem Logistiscs is recognised as a fiscal representative for importing goods for foreign companies liable for VAT in the European Union. The entire process is taken care of for you: from clearing the goods to submitting static reports and reverse-charging VAT.

The advantages of our customs and bonded warehouses

Financial advantage
If the final destination is outside the EU, double payment of import or export duties is avoided. Furthermore, your goods may be stored in our warehouses without time limit. As a result, you as a customer benefit from tax deferral until the goods are ready for distribution in the market. This flexibility has a positive impact on your liquidity.

International presence
In addition to a customs and bonded warehouse in Menen, Widem Logistics also has a customs warehouse in Tanger (Morocco). Additionally, we have physical customs offices in Dover (UK) and Menen (Belgium).

Efficient unloading
Upon arrival, goods can be immediately transported to the warehouse for unloading, saving you a significant amount of time.

Joint storage
Goods destined for the European Union and goods for outside the EU can be stored together. This eliminates the need for two separate warehouses.

Frequently asked questions

What can Widem Logistics do for my imports and exports?2024-05-06T09:54:18+02:00

We have more than 40 years of experience and a lot of in-house specialists in the field of import and export. Besides putting the necessary paperwork in order, we can also help with the financial optimisation of your process, for example.

Is Widem Logistics only present in Belgium?2024-05-27T08:41:12+02:00

No, we have customs offices in Dover (UK) and Menen (Belgium). Customs and bonded warehouses can be found in Menen (Belgium) and Tangier (Morocco). We also have many fulfilment centers spread across Europe (Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, the UK).

What is a bonded warehouse?2024-05-06T09:53:01+02:00

A bonded warehouse is a warehouse where goods can be temporarily stored so that they can be processed, handled or transited to other destinations, without immediate payment of customs duties. This allows you to optimise your logistics processes and save costs, as customs duties are paid only when the goods are actually released from the warehouse for domestic use or sale.

What is a tax or bonded warehouse?2024-05-06T09:52:34+02:00

A tax or bonded warehouse is a facility where goods can be stored under the supervision of tax authorities.

Unlike a customs warehouse, where goods are stored without paying import duties, a tax warehouse stores goods for which taxes such as VAT (value-added tax) have not yet been paid.

By using an bonded warehouse, you can defer payment of taxes until the goods are actually sold or used.
