Brussels Import Agency
Brussels Import Agency is a new initiative of BECI (Brussels Enterprises Commerce and Industry) in partnership with VOKA (Kamer van Koophandel Halle-Vilvoorde) and UWE (Union Wallonne des Entreprises).
The two basic missions of BIA are:• Helping companies develop their commercial relations and
import/export projects• Increasing the profit of our companies by opening their reference market (presentation of new clients, new suppliers, new products)
1. BRUSSELS, FRONT DOOR TO EUROPE
1. Information on legislation and formalities2. Second opinion on business plan3. Contacts with potential client and suppliers4. Organisation of seminars
2. SERVICES
Indian exporters to the European Union • must comply with the REACH regulation on chemicals, which requires the
registration of substances imported in the EU.
• BECI can help you cope with the sometimes complex process of registration with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
• Non-EU companies require a presence in the EU to register. This presence can be a subsidiary of the Indian company, an importer, or in the absence of both, a company-appointed “Only Representative”.
• BECI can help you select a qualified service provider to act as only representative.
