Danish customs and freight
DKNO Partners advises you and your business
Understand Danish customs and freight
Shipping goods to Denmark requires an understanding of Danish customs and VAT regulations. Denmark is part of the EU, which means that companies from outside the EU must declare their goods upon import. An efficient shipping and returns solution can also optimise costs and customer satisfaction.
We offer knowledge and solutions within:
- Customs and VAT on imports: As part of the EU Customs Union, common tariffs and rules apply to imports from third countries like Norway. For proper customs clearance, goods must be classified with the correct customs tariff codes.
- Customs credit: Defer payment of import duties and taxes to improve your company's cash flow.
- Warehouse hotelsUse strategically located warehouse facilities in Denmark to reduce delivery times and customs costs.
- Freight solutions: Choose between land, air and sea freight depending on your goods and business needs.
- One-stop VAT scheme (OSS): Simplifies VAT registration and reporting so you can sell goods to Danish customers without having to register for VAT in multiple EU countries.
- Return solutions: Efficient returns solutions ensure a smooth customer experience and reduce handling costs.
With the right combination of freight and customs handling, your business can create a better customer experience and optimise your costs when selling to Denmark.
Danish tariffs and commodity codes
To avoid problems with the authorities, it's important to understand how VAT, freight and tariffs work when trading across borders.
If your business is based outside the EU and sells goods to Denmark, you need to be aware of the EU's common customs rules. Customs and VAT are levied on imports and goods must be cleared correctly. Freight forwarders can often handle customs and VAT on your behalf to simplify the process.
Tariffs are calculated based on commodity codes (HS codes), which can be found in EU TARIC database. DKNO Partners can help you find the correct codes through our partners.
Customs credit in Denmark - is it necessary?
Customs credit allows companies to get credit for payment of customs duties, taxes and costs when importing into Denmark.
Companies can apply for a customs credit from the tax authorities, which makes it possible to defer the payment of import duties. If you have a customs credit, the tax authorities will invoice the importer monthly for the total import duties instead of requiring payment for each individual shipment. This can improve your company's cash flow and reduce the administrative burden of importing.
Warehouse hotels - a flexible solution
Warehousing is an effective solution for companies looking to reduce delivery times and costs. By having goods located in Denmark, companies from outside the EU can more easily manage logistics and ensure faster delivery to customers across the EU.
This solution is particularly beneficial for companies with seasonal fluctuations or growth in the European market. Warehouses offer flexibility and modern inventory management, but can also mean less control over logistics. DKNO Partners works with warehouses in Denmark and can help you find a solution that suits your business needs.
