RI.Logistica: Crossing Borders: Managing Customs & Taxes

Apr 19, 2021
This session of the RI.Logistica conference is a common denominator for all who are a part of the logistics workflow because it pertains to the daily routine of managing customs and taxes.

During this session, we will hear from the European Commission, a research infrastructure and a custom broker on the ways to best adhere to the rules and regulations, and how we can find a common solution to simplifying the approach.

What are the different possibilities for temporary customs clearance? What is the validity of each type of temporary customs clearance? Can research infrastructures get an exemption from the ATA-Carnet? What is the process if a temporary shipment stays definitely? Our speakers will address these and many more curious questions.

Join us on 19 May 2021 for Session 3 between 14:00-15:15 CEST. The speakers of Session 3 titled “Crossing Borders: Managing Customs and Taxes” are:

  • Fernando Perreau de Pinninck, Head of Taxation and Customs Union Unit, International Relations, DG TAXUD, European Commission
  • Kitty Fritz-Nielen, Head of Procurement & Logistics, European XFEL
  • Thomas Weins, Vice President & Global Head of Customs Management, Gerlach Customs
  • Paul Deheij, Head of Customs and VAT, Gerlach Customs
  • This session will be moderated by Patrick Muffat, Section Leader for the Logistic Service, European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN)

The RI.Logistica conference is an online event designed for research infrastructures, their users and collaborators, companies in the supply chain management, and governmental authorities to discuss all aspects of logistics critical for research facilities and laboratories.
