Union goods status · pleasure craft

The reliable proof for your pleasure craft.

Whether you are selling your boat or facing customs authorities – what matters is that you can prove your boat's status at any time. If this proof is missing, import duties and VAT can be reassessed and any sale can be significantly complicated. Every boat owner should therefore hold a reliable proof. What many boat owners know as a "VAT-paid status" is legally assessed via the Union goods status. The European Commission points out that there is currently no EU-wide standardised proof for this. We close this gap: our specialised lawyers review your individual case, produce a reliable proof of Union goods status and apply for a T2L customs document on request.
