Do you manage international logistics between France and the US?

1. International logistics management: our positioning

International logistics, covering freight transportation, inventory management, and customs operations, is a highly specialized field. At Orbiss, our core expertise is focused on the financial, tax, HR, and legal aspects of your transatlantic expansion.

We do not directly manage physical transportation or the supply chain.

However, we recognize that logistics is a critical pillar for the success of your implementation, especially for companies in the retail and e-commerce sectors. This is why we position ourselves as your strategic logistics facilitator.

2. How Orbiss helps you solve logistics challenges

Our role is to ensure that your logistics strategy aligns seamlessly with your financial and tax compliance obligations in both France and the US:

Customs and tax compliance alignment

We help you understand how your logistics choices (e.g., storing inventory in France, specific distribution models, Incoterms used) impact your tax and customs duties. Specifically, we work to prevent the import of goods from inadvertently triggering a Permanent Establishment (PE) or other unintended tax thresholds in France.

Trusted expert partnerships

We maintain a robust network of third-party logistics providers (3PLs), freight forwarders, customs brokers, and warehousing specialists with proven expertise on the France/US corridor. We connect you with the partners best suited to the size and specific needs of your business.

Financial integration

We ensure that complex logistics costs (customs duties, import VAT, transport expenses) are properly accounted for, categorized, and integrated into your consolidated financial reporting package.

3. Conclusion

In short, while we don’t drive the trucks, we make sure that your entire corporate structure is prepared to handle the movement of goods efficiently and compliantly from a financial and tax perspective.
