CORE SERVICES

One import flow. Four service areas.

Start with the customs entry and VAT structure. Add regulatory filings and recurring evidence where the shipment requires it.

01

Customs Broker & Customs Entries

Customs declarations for EU imports, with product and shipment validation before filing.

  • Customs entries and release documents
  • HS classification and customs valuation
  • MRN linked to the shipment
  • Direct or indirect representation
02

VAT Deferment & Fiscal Representation

For qualifying flows, import VAT can be handled through the Dutch deferment structure instead of being paid at the border.

  • Limited fiscal representation
  • VAT deferment
  • Intra-EU stock movement support
  • Monthly VAT / ICA data
03

CBAM, EUDR, PPWR & CRA

New EU obligations should not become a separate manual project for every shipment.

  • CBAM declaration and certificate workflow
  • EUDR DDS reference filing / linkage
  • PPWR documentation
  • CRA cybersecurity reporting
  • Other product or DG triggers where applicable
04

Monthly Data & Audit Files

Keep the import evidence usable after Customs has released the shipment.

  • VAT / ICA datasets by period
  • MRN + EORI mapping
  • Shipment archive
  • SKU-level customs / post-clearance files

FAQ

Common questions before an EU import flow starts.

Can Lily Maas act under indirect representation for non-EU sellers?

For eligible non-EU flows, Lily Maas can act under its authorised indirect-representation / declarant structure. The exact setup depends on the seller, goods, destination and documentation.

Can import VAT be deferred?

For qualifying flows using Dutch fiscal representation, import VAT can be handled through the VAT deferment mechanism rather than being paid at the border.

Can Lily Maas work with my existing freight forwarder?

Yes. Lily Maas does not need to own the freight movement to perform the customs, fiscal or agreed regulatory role.

Do you provide monthly data for VAT filing and ICA reconciliation?

Yes. Lily Maas can provide transaction data for VAT/ICA reconciliation and related periodic reporting workflows.

Can you support post-clearance questions or audits?

Lily Maas retains structured customs evidence and can provide shipment- and SKU-level records for post-clearance support, subject to the agreed service package.
