Three jobs, done carefully.

A VAT route check is for exporters who need to know what belongs on the invoice before goods move. It covers one product line and up to three destination countries, with special attention to how the sale is actually made.

• Sales channels Direct B2B, webshop B2C, marketplace sales, dropship-style flows and sales through a UK or EU distributor are treated differently.
• Registrations The route note identifies likely VAT registration points and where OSS or IOSS may help, may not apply or would be too thin for the facts.
• Invoice wording You receive practical wording for zero-rated EU exports, reverse charge cases, import VAT treatment and customer-facing explanations.
• Delivered file A route map, risk notes, invoice wording, questions for the accountant and broker, and a plain decision list.

This work turns product information into defensible customs instructions. It is useful when a broker asks for a commodity code, a customer wants preference, or a new material or supplier changes the origin story.

• HS codes Product use, material, technical function, packaging and explanatory notes are reviewed before a code is recommended.
• Preferential origin Rules of origin are checked against supplier declarations, bill of materials and processing steps before preference wording is used.
• Broker instructions The opinion includes the code, reasoning, evidence to keep, warning points and wording your broker can copy into clearance instructions.
• SKU control Similar products are grouped where sensible, but differences that change the code are separated rather than hidden.

Export evidence work is for companies that have moved goods already and need the file to support the VAT treatment. It is deliberately practical: what proves transport, who held the risk, where import VAT landed and what is missing.

• Proof of transport CMRs, courier tracking, packing lists, export declarations, warehouse releases and customer collection documents are matched to invoices.
• Incoterms The file is checked against the promise in the sales terms, especially DDP, DAP, EXW and customer collections.
• Import VAT evidence UK, Swiss and Norwegian import evidence is reviewed so the invoice treatment and the clearance record do not contradict each other.
• Returned goods Returned-goods treatment is separated from new exports so the VAT and customs trail stays readable.
