How the DGT's position has evolved

Stable position Medium confidence 9 rulings · 2014–2022

Current position

Deliveries of goods exempt due to export require the effective exit of the goods from the Union customs territory according to customs legislation. In postal shipments with a value of less than 1,000 EUR and without export duties, the CN22/23 declaration is sufficient to prove the export without the need for a Single Administrative Document (DUA). The VAT exemption on processing services depends on whether the operation is classified as a provision of services or a delivery of goods.
