EU Trade Helpdesk as the Online Guide to Access Europe’s Markets

The EU Trade Helpdesk is an online service created specifically to help entrepreneurs from developing countries to get free access to information about the conditions of export to the EU. The EU Trade Helpdesk is actually an online resource where users can find online information about the terms of trade with the EU, in particular regarding the existing duties, preferential trade agreements, statistics, other specific product requirements and the like.

 Taking into account that all EU Member States apply the common customs tariff for goods imported from outside the EU and the goods that have been legally imported into the EU can be distributed throughout the community without any other customs checks, this online platform applies to all EU Member States.

The EU Trade Helpdesk was presented to the WTO Member States during the meeting of the Committee on Market Access.
