Frequently asked questions
When is a cross-trade operation advisable?
Cross-trade is ideal when you have suppliers in one country (e.g. China) and customers in another (e.g. Germany) and don't need goods to pass through Spain. You reduce transport costs, shorten delivery times and simplify the logistics chain while maintaining commercial control from your company in Spain.
What are the tax implications of cross-trade?
Triangular operations have VAT, Intrastat and corporate tax implications depending on the countries involved and Incoterms used. We recommend specialized tax advice. We handle all logistics and documentary management, ensuring documentation is consistent with the agreed tax structure.
What documents are needed for a cross-trade operation?
Typical documents include: commercial invoice between each pair of parties, Bill of Lading (or switch BL), packing list, certificates of origin if applicable, and customs documents for the destination country. We coordinate all documentary flows to ensure consistency between supplier, buyer and carrier.
