Implications of the latest Harley-Davidson ruling
02-02-2025

It is no secret that non-preferential origin can actually be more difficult to determine than preferential origin. The importance of non-preferential origin, in the age of new trade wars and border-applied sustainability policies is increasing. For that reason, the recent judgement by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the Harley-Davidson Europe and Neovia Logistics Services International v. Commission case is particularly interesting.

The long and winding road: pursuing a bad trade decision by a customs officer in the United States
23-01-2025

In the US, the law allows an importer to contest adverse decisions on their customs entries for a number of reasons including differences in appraised value, classification and rate of duty, exclusion from entry and refusal to pay a drawback claim. Anyone who either advises importers or directly pursues what they believe have been incorrect trade decisions made by U.S. Customs and Protection (CBP) knows that the processes can not only be frustrating but also prohibitively expensive.
