In a recent ruling, the Court of Justice (the Court) delivered its decision in the case of Zes Zollner Electronic, addressing the issue of amending customs declarations and the consequences of failing to declare the correct quantity of goods. The case involved a Romanian company, Zes Zollner Electronic (ZZE), which declared only half of the actual quantity of goods received, resulting in a customs infringement.

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.

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.

EU sanctions system and the new Customs Code
2024-10-27

The topic of sanctions is of particular importance in EU Customs Law, as sanctions are relevant tools for ensuring the proper enforcement of the latter in EU Member States. In this regard, the Proposal of 17 May 2023 for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Union Customs Code and the European Union Customs Authority, and repealing Regulation (EU) No 952/2013, highlights the negative effects of the lack of harmonization in terms of customs sanctions. It is emphasized therein that customs penalties vary greatly across Member States and are subject to evolution over time; in addition, the significant divergences between Member States in the application of sanctions against breaches of customs legislation can lead to a distortion of competition, loopholes and “customs shopping”.

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.

Is payment of customs duties suspended if a dispute is brought before a court?
2024-05-19

Did you know that customs duties are one of the European Union's own resources? Therefore, when you challenge customs decisions to calculate customs duties, you are essentially challenging EU revenue. In this overview of a recent judgement by the Court of Justice of the European Union, we answer the question of whether, in the event of a dispute with customs, the collection of import duties (customs duties and VAT) is suspended until the outcome of the proceedings is known.
