Adobe Stock

Customs procedure 42 is a mechanism that an EU importer uses to obtain a VAT exemption. It is applied when goods imported from outside the EU into a Member State will be transported to another EU Member State. In such cases, the VAT is due in the latter - the Member State of destination.

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.

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 It concerns the retroactive application of anti-dumping duties when they have already been repealed.

The EU autonomous suspensions and quotas scheme: a glimpse behind the curtain of (an esoteric) Brussels trade committee
2024-08-07

Article 28 of the Treaty of Rome provides for the temporary suspension of duties under the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) on imports of raw materials and components for further processing. This is possible where it is established that the EU-based companies are unable to obtain supplies of the product or suitable substitutes. This article aims to describe the process for successfully applying for an autonomous suspension or quota from the initial completion of the prescribed form to the discussions in the Committee rooms in the European Commission in Brussels.

Importing chemicals: CJEU rules who bears the burden of administrative work
2024-07-10

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation is the EU’s main instrument to protect human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. The legislation places a registration obligation on the importer. However, the definitions of the importer and import under the REACH legislation do not align with the customs terminology. The article demonstrates what happens when discrepancies arise.
