Overview

"As a matter of law, 'origin', 'consigned from' and 'exported from' are all specific concepts. However, sometimes it's in the interest of authorities to expand them, particularly 'consigned from' and 'exported from'. You should be aware that that may happen. In practical terms it means that it is even more important than it ever was to make sure that your documentation (e.g. bills of lading, commercial documentation) is in an absolutely as good order as you can possibly make it. When I went to the court with a client, we had to get everything!" - says Timothy Lyons, a barrister and King’s Counsel (England and Wales), and a barrister in the Republic of Ireland and a member of the Bar of Brussels; author of the book “EU Customs Law”. 

Find out more by watching the recording of a presentation at the "UK roundtable: the ‘new precision’ in customs declarations and beyond" (27.3.2025). The ECJ cases to which Timothy Lyons refers: C-157/25 and C-67/23.
