New record! Updated on 6 October 2023.

The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a tool to put a fair price on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon intensive goods that are entering the EU, and to encourage cleaner industrial production in non-EU countries. The CBAM will enter into application in its transitional phase on 1 October 2023, with the first reporting period for importers ending 31 January 2024. Initially, it will apply to imports of certain carbon-intensive goods, including cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen.

Start learning about the CBAM by familiarising yourself with its legal basis! Need more knowledge? Check out the certificate course "CBAM & Practical Implementation in Companies". This video is Part 2 of the course, which has been updated on 6 October 2023.

Resources are available after purchase.

Criterion of financial solvency for the reduction or waiver of a comprehensive guarantee
14-01-2025

This article deals with legal changes in relation to the criterion of financial solvency that were introduced in 2018 but have not yet been noticed by many traders and taken into account by some customs authorities. These changes allow for a more flexible approach to the assessment of economic operators' financial solvency when authorisations for a reduction or waiver of a comprehensive guarantee are requested or to be maintained.

A wild goose chase: on the Israeli 'passing-on' condition when claiming a duty refund
29-12-2024

Overpayment of customs duties or other import duties can be a major burden for importers. There can be various reasons for overpayments, e.g. disputes over classification, valuation, origin, etc. Reclaiming these duties from customs authority can be a lengthy and expensive process. The outcome is, of course, unpredictable. In Israel, there is an additional obstacle between the importer and the refund, the so-called ‘passing-on’ condition. This is not unique to Israel, but does not exist in the EU.

EU regulations do not have a retroactive effect, but the measures they repeal do
10-11-2024

Do EU rules have a retroactive effect? There is no clear answer to this question. It has been the subject of a number of rulings by the Court of Justice of the EU in relation to specific acts and situations. This article reviews one of the recent CJEU's judgments on this issue. It concerns the retroactive application of anti-dumping duties when they have already been repealed.
