Overview Resources

In this recording of the "EU law news overview" webinar held on the 3rd of April 2025, Anthony Buckley examines the major regulatory changes and developments affecting customs and trade in the EU and beyond.

  • He mainly focuses on the ICS2 implementation, the EU’s enhanced Import Control System, which introduces stricter pre-arrival data requirements for goods entering the EU and its implications for traders and carriers.
  • The presentation also covers France’s introduction of the Obligatory Electronic Envelope (ELO), a digital requirement put in place by France to deal with Brexit, and the transition period before it becomes fully mandatory.
  • Anthony also addresses the new UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system, now extended to EU travellers, and outlines who is affected and how it operates.
  • In addition, he discusses the implications of newly announced US tariffs, including potential complexities for manufacturers operating in the US.

New US tariffs on Europe compound challenges for the steel and aluminium sectors
09-04-2025

The recent decision by the United States to reintroduce tariffs on steel and aluminium imports has prompted significant concern among European industries. Announced in February 2025, the US government … has reinstated a 25% tariff on steel and increased the tariff on aluminium from 10% to 25%.

New US tariffs and origin of goods
06-04-2025

All products originating in the UK are now subject to a baseline US tariff of 10%. Compare this with the tariffs levied against the EU (20%) and China (54%) and it can be seen that the origin … of products exported to the US is crucial. The condition is that UK exporters must ensure that the products they export to the US originate in the UK (if they originate in the EU, even though they are exported from the UK, they will be subject to a 20% import duty in the US). We provide a brief overview of the new US tariffs and what ‘origin’ means in this context.

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.

It concerns the retroactive application of anti-dumping duties when they have already been repealed.
