Law/Patents - Law: Taxation & Customs | | German term or phrase: zur eigenen Verfügung | Das Verbringen von befüllten Flaschen zur eigenen Verfügung nach Deutschland wird einer Lieferung gleichgestellt.
The phrase "zur eigenen Verfügung" occurs several times, am wondering if there is a standard phrase in English for this?
Perhaps "for private purposes"?
This is from a document regarding VAT applicability on transactions involving precious metals.
Many thanks to all. |

| | English translation:own/private use | Explanation:
In customs terms, the usual keyword is "Eigenbedarf" where the law allows some leeway. However, the bottles seem to indicate alcohol (to which this is quite often applied, i.e. when you go on vacation by car or other means, you can bring back relatively large quantities of alcohol to nurse your habit without paying customs fees or additional VAT), I do not really see precious metals being transported in bottles ;-) |
