In practice, the importers must ensure the proper reporting and documentary practices related to their imports, in particular:
- collection of the removal order (“Bon à enlever” – BAE) and obtention of the import documentation from the customs agents in order to proceed with check and reconciliation work,
- verification of the pre-filled data on the VAT return with the data made available on the customs website,
- implementation of corrections in case of identified errors,
- adaptation of the settings of the information systems,
- modification of the accounting entries, regarding purchases and VAT to be reverse-charged,
- setting up and documenting a reliable audit trail dedicated to this flow.
