How to Optimize Customs Taxes for Clinical Trials in Eastern Europe

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Pharmaceutical, Pharma Manufacturing & Supply Chain,
  • Tuesday, November 23, 2021

The global clinical trial supply and logistics market continues to grow, to support increasing pharma R&D spend. With this growth comes the continued drive to reduce cost in the supply chain, in a context in which logistics is becoming more complex due to product sourcing requirements, temperature control, local regulatory requirements and decentralized trial set up.

What if the focus turned from logistics and manufacturing costs, towards optimizing trial duties and VAT to recoup clinical trial services spend?

Join our webinar to learn more as we discuss cost optimization strategies and for practical advice including:

  • How VAT and duties appear in the budgets of clinical trials
  • What is claimable/non-reclaimable per country
  • Duty and VAT per country
  • Bottlenecks, and how to resolve them
  • Cost reduction case studies
