ABOUT US

Critical Minds. Crafted Advice.

LENOS c.s. VAT & Customs Lawyers is an indirect tax boutique firm supplying tailor-made advice. We are critical free thinkers who view the world through different eyes. And we define things that cannot be defined. If we can look something up, we don’t find it interesting. This makes us a cabinet of curiosities. A cabinet of curiosities active within the most eccentric niches.

We advise our clients on every conceivable issue in the field of VAT and customs processes. For our specialists, both the national and international playing fields hold no secrets. They possess unique expertise in cross-border goods and services and are part of a broad network of specialists both domestically and internationally.

We specialize in the classification of goods within the Harmonized System and the determination of the customs value of goods, including cases involving intercompany transactions. Our expertise extends to establishing both preferential and non-preferential origins of goods, as well as applying various customs duty suspension regimes.
