Standardised Yet Tailored
Although many aspects of compliance can be standardised, each businessā€™s unique situation necessitates a customised service package. Fragmenting a mandatory checklist for engaging with German consumers and ensuring ongoing compliance results in an unclear list. We aim at transparency and trust, not on ambigiouty.
EuroTrade Gateway UG (hb) has thus opted to provide packages by country. We have categorised countries into groups to outline the essential steps for registration, reporting, and other compliance-related tasks, including taxation and extended producer responsibilities. We are happy to clarify our pricing and create customised offers upon request.
If you are not sure where your business resides or what its jurisdictions is, we define residency by the residendy of the mangement - the legal representative, managing director or CEO.
