For most of the cases, when I give assessment to my customers, they´re usually shipping to Germany. Appoint representation that is going to act as an Importer of Record (IOR) if the consignee is not the declarant is something very important that you should never forget. You can´t be declarant being from outside the EU, it means all companies that are not situated in the EU, and also applying to United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, with a Limited company in most of the cases.

The IOR (Importer of Record) is responsible and liable for your customs declarations.

Businesses importing to the EU in their own name must appoint an IOR (Importer of Record). Please, let me know if you need this representation, current customers, normally does not have that problem while joining Tax And Law Spain accountant services.
