TaxConsult: Customs and Excise, Foreign Trade and Market Law

Of Trade and Change

In a world where flows of goods cross countries and continents, where distances hardly matter any more and where documents are often only available in electronic form, the routes that trade takes are often very difficult to trace – and at times seem to outsiders to be almost unfathomable.

Schomerus’s know-how in national and international wholesale and retail trade creates transparency and protects our clients from hidden traps and unpleasant surprises. By means of professional argumentation we help to clear up misunderstandings, to identify and make use of room for manoeuvre and scope for discretion and to avoid or resolve disputes between companies, authorities and insurers.
