Revolutionise Your Excise Management with CAS
Importing and exporting excise goods, such as alcohol, tobacco, and energy, is a multifaceted challenge with significant financial implications. Excise duties come at a price, impacting your bottom line. Are you worried about compliance with excise goods being checked by authorities more strictly? Are you struggling with the burden of (pre)paying vast amounts of excise duties on imported products, and you’re looking into optimisations? Or are you investigating ways to automate your excise management, giving you more visibility? We've got exciting product news that can make your excise journey smoother!
Challenges to tackle
🗺️ Compliant excise movements
The Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS) comes into play when dealing with excise goods, introducing an additional layer of complexity with yet another system to manage. And since excise goods are monitored more closely, you’d better ensure compliance. Moreover, your administration time adds up since you need to lodge customs declarations and register the excise movements in EMCS.
📈 Varying excise duty rates
Think of excise duty rates as a complex landscape where the rules vary from country to country. Different excise duty rates apply depending on the product and the jurisdiction, even in the EU, this is not standardised, making excise duty management quite complex if you are importing from and exporting to multiple countries.
💰 Heavy (pre)payments
Imagine the financial impact of having to pay substantial excise duties upfront before you can even start making money from your imported products. This upfront financial burden can significantly impact your cash flow, restricting your business's flexibility.

Our excise functionality consists of three layers

- When moving excise goods within the EU, CAS registers these movements in EMCS based on your data. This can be easily combined with your customs declarations for full automation. CAS takes care of the excise and customs declarations with just one message.
- Tax warehouse functionality in CAS allows you to import or produce excise goods with suspension or complete relief of excise duties and VAT. This will help you save on excise duties tremendously and has an enormous impact on your cash flow.
