What is customs procedure 42?
Customs procedure 42 is a mechanism an EU importer uses in order to obtain a VAT exemption. It is applied when goods imported from outside the EU into a Member State will be transported to another Member State. In such cases, the VAT is due in the latter - the Member State of destination.
Legal background
Such a supply might be VAT exempted (or zero-rated) under certain conditions, which are regulated by EU VAT Directive (Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax), national law and a very extensive court practice.
