Sector High-Tech
Funding/budget 50 KEUR
Short project Summary
Imagine an engineer at a technological fair and who is trying to decide which of the suppliers to choose.
The price difference is evident; however for anyone who has been in that position it is obvious that the price is just a small part of the overall picture.
For example are the suppliers allowed to import to the desired destination and if they are, are there additional taxes, duties and fees?
If the product uses the parts by this supplier is it going to satisfy the ‘rules of origin’ requirements of the largest customers?
Where and how much are the taxes and duties paid when the final product is sold?
Faces with all those mainly administrative and tax questions very often the engineer would not know where to even begin.
We are creating an app that is going to assist the hi-tech manufacturers in resolving those issues. The Free to Trade app also has the ambition to provide information to SMEs concerning not only goods, but also services and goods with services blends. That is of crucial importance for high-tech SMEs, where their product is often a hybrid and requires substantial customization and/or support for a specific key customer(s).
