Extinction of customs debt - does it include VAT and excise?

Adobe Stock

Knowing how provisions of one or another customs and tax legislation are applied, protects business from financial and time losses intended for the resolution of disputes in courts. In this review of the judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union, we draw attention to the aspects related to excise duty and VAT debt for goods illegally imported into the EU from the third countries - whether it is extinguished together with the import duty debt.

New EU requirements for packaging and the import of packaged products - coming soon
2025-03-02

In addition to the numerous sustainability-related areas assigned to customs (CBAM, EUDR, forced labor prohibition regulation, CITES, etc.), customs will soon be assigned another task – the control of packaging compliance with sustainability requirements. Accordingly, importers themselves will have to be aware of one more regulation. Let's review the new regulation on packaging and packaging waste and the requirements set out in it.

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

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.

Confiscation of third-party goods in case of unintentional customs infringement: CJEU interpretation
2025-01-09

Nobody likes to be penalised - whether you are an importer, a customs broker, or just a driver taking goods across the border. The penalty is a negative consequence for any person who has committed the offence. It is clear when a person deliberately does something illegal to benefit from it. But what about those who do not intend to break the law but do so inadvertently? Do the negative consequences only affect the person who directly committed the offence? This article seeks to answer these and other questions about the penalties for customs offences in the EU.

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

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
2024-11-10

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.
