Fully independent consultancy firm on VAT and Customs

LENOS c.s. VAT & Customs Lawyers is an indirect tax boutique firm supplying tailor-made advice. We are critical free thinkers who view the world through different eyes. And we define things that cannot be defined. If we can look something up, we don’t find it interesting. This makes us a cabinet of curiosities. A cabinet of curiosities active within the most eccentric niches.

We advise our clients on every conceivable issue in the field of VAT and customs processes. For our specialists, both the national and international playing fields hold no secrets. They possess unique expertise in cross-border goods and services and are part of a broad network of specialists both domestically and internationally.

We specialize in the classification of goods within the Harmonized System and the determination of the customs value of goods, including cases involving intercompany transactions. Our expertise extends to establishing both preferential and non-preferential origins of goods, as well as applying various customs duty suspension regimes. These regimes include Inward and Outward Processing, Bonded Warehousing and the temporary importation of goods. Additionally, we provide guidance on excise duties and consumer taxes, environmental levies, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and car taxes.

Our clients include companies, organizations and governments, as well as law firms, accountants, tax advisors and management consultants. We often act as ‘consultants for the consultants’ in the literal sense of the word.
