Customs Advisory
EVA reporting and EMCS movements made workable: we explain the rules, prepare the data, support every filing and movement, and keep the process integrated with what you already do.
In context
What it is
Excise management covers the EU duties on alcohol, tobacco and energy products. Two systems run the show in practice: EVA (Verbrauchsteuer-Anmeldung), the national filing of excise data to the tax authority, and EMCS (Excise Movement and Control System), the EU-wide electronic system for monitoring movements of excise goods under duty suspension. Together they decide whether your shipments move smoothly under suspension or get stuck in queries.
Where it applies
It is relevant for any company that produces, stores, ships or trades excise goods (alcohol, tobacco, energy products) inside the EU, especially beverage producers, energy companies and traders moving goods between authorised warehouses or to registered consignees. It is also relevant for finance and logistics teams that have to file EVA reports and reconcile EMCS movements but lack a dedicated excise specialist in-house.
How we work on it
We start by translating the EVA and EMCS requirements into a concrete process for your company: which data is needed, who in your team feeds it, how movements are opened, monitored and closed. From there we support the actual filings and movements, help you embed the workflow into your existing systems, and stay on call for the special cases (irregularities, shortages, changes of destination) where most teams without an excise specialist lose hours.
Common challenges
Most teams meet EVA and EMCS once or twice a month, the tax authority deals with them every day. The gap shows up as queries.
EVA and EMCS feel complex and hard to navigate
High manual effort for filings and movement messages
Unclear requirements across producers, warehouses and traders
Errors in data entry and documentation create rework
No dedicated excise specialist inside the company
Time lost on follow-up questions from the tax authority
What we do
We do not take excise out of your hands, we make sure you run it cleanly the first time and every time.
We translate the legal requirements of EVA and EMCS into a concrete process for your company, your products and your authorisations.
We tell you exactly which data points each filing or movement needs, in which format, and review your inputs before they are submitted.
We support your team through EVA filings and EMCS movements end to end, including the special cases that usually cost the most time.
How it works
A short, focused process that turns EVA and EMCS into routine work.
We map your excise products, authorisations and current process to identify what is missing, what is at risk and what can be simplified.
You get a clear playbook for EVA filings and EMCS movements, including data sources, responsibilities and review steps.
We accompany the actual filings and movements, support special cases and stay on the file until the tax authority closes everything cleanly.
Who this is for
If your team does not handle EVA and EMCS every week, you should not have to learn them by trial and error.

FAQ
We support and review filings and movements end to end, but the formal responsibility stays with your company and the authorised warehouse keeper or registered consignee. This keeps you in control while you get expert backing on every message and reconciliation.
We work across all three EU excise categories, alcohol and alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and energy products. The exact setup depends on your products, your authorisations and your role in the supply chain (producer, warehouse keeper, trader, consignee).
Yes. We can scope the wider excise authorisation landscape and help you prepare the application, set up the operating process and align it with your customs guarantee strategy.
We design the excise process so it fits into the systems you already use. ERP, customs software, document management, instead of creating a parallel world. Where it makes sense, we connect it directly with our customs automation.
