Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / tax warehouse
French term or phrase: en acquitté
The context is a tax inspection of a tax warehouse operator XX, distributing fuel products:

De plus, le produit 1 et une partie de produit 2 utilisés par la société XX étaient achetés auprès de fournisseurs français, **en acquitté**.

La société XX dispose d’un statut d’entrepositaire agréé qui lui permet de recevoir et d’envoyer des produits en suspension de droits et taxes, et d’un statut de destinataire enregistré qui lui permet de recevoir en suspension de taxes et de mettre à la consommation sur le marché national en suite de réception de livraisons en provenance de l'Union Européenne.
