Goods & trade

Chain and triangular transactions

Multiple supplies but one movement: allocation and evidence are decisive.

EUGlobal B2B business Goods

In a chain transaction several businesses contract successively for the same goods while the goods move directly from the first to the last party. Only one supply can be allocated to the cross-border movement.

Decision data

Contract order, transport arranger, Incoterms, VAT IDs, transfer of disposal rights and actual route must be considered together.

Triangulation

The EU simplification for qualifying triangular transactions requires all conditions plus correct invoice and reporting details.

Dynafis

If intermediary role or transport allocation is missing, Dynafis returns REVIEW_REQUIRED rather than guessing the moving supply.

Official references

Sources support traceability; national implementation and the individual case still require review.
