European Excise Landscape
Trading excise goods, whether at the B2B or B2C level, presents significant challenges in terms of customs compliance.
A comprehensive EU regulatory framework applies to each product category and trade pattern, which is further complemented by national legislation in individual member states.
The EMCS system enables close monitoring of excise goods throughout all stages, including production, processing, storage, movement, and intra-community deliveries—whether under duty-suspended or duty-paid status.
These movements are strictly regulated and can only be carried out through authorized functions governed by relevant licenses and approvals.
Distance sales of alcoholic beverages to consumers (B2C) are another area regulated at the EU level but remain difficult to implement consistently across member states. Additionally, certain excise duties, such as those applied to products like coffee and cocoa, are determined at the national level, creating further complexity for cross-border trade.
