Excise duties in the wine trade

Excise duties, indirect taxes imposed by national governments on alcoholic products, pose a significant challenge for businesses in the wine trade. Managing these duties demands meticulous attention and a deep understanding of customs regulations.

Introducing two new customs roles

In the world of wine trade, as we have seen, excise duties represent a significant challenge.

To address challenges with excise duties in the wine trade, two new roles have been introduced for wine tax warehouses: the “Certified Consignor” and the “Certified Consignee.” These roles comply with European directives, providing vital solutions to streamline international wine exports within Europe.

Certified consignor

The Certified consignor is a specialized role tasked with organizing wine exports, managing customs operations, and ensuring compliance with excise duties.

Certified consignee

The Certified consignee is responsible for receiving and distributing wine imported from other EU member states, ensuring smooth import processes.

Advantages of specializing in new customs roles

Specializing in these new customs roles offers several benefits, particularly for international wine shipments:

  • Faster shipping procedures;
  • Reduced delays;
  • Enhanced security in processes;
  • Simplified operations at every stage.

These benefits are vital for companies aiming to expand their presence in the European wine market. However, it’s important to note that these advantages apply exclusively to shipments within the European Union.
