What is Indirect Representation in International Trade?
Expanding into new markets requires compliance with complex customs regulations. Indirect representation allows a third-party expert to act as the declarant, managing customs procedures on behalf of businesses without a physical presence in the importing country. Unlike direct representation, this model simplifies market access while maintaining full compliance with local regulations.
Why Choose Indirect Representation?
For businesses looking to import goods into the EU or other regulated markets, indirect representation offers several advantages:
- No Local Establishment Needed – Companies can trade internationally without meeting strict establishment criteria.
- Simplified Customs Processes – A trusted partner like Tevolution Ltd ensures seamless compliance with import/export laws.
- Shared Liability – Importers share customs liability with an experienced representative, reducing compliance risks.
- Optimised Cost Structures – While indirect representation carries a premium due to risk, it eliminates the need for a costly local entity.
