A storm in a tea kettle

A few days ago, an Israeli court accepted a claim by an importer of electric kettles against the customs authority, regarding the classification of the products for customs purposes. The court adopted the importer's position that the kettles should be classified in subheading 851610 of the HS as "immersion heaters" and rejected the customs position to classify them in subheading 851670 as "other electro-thermal devices". This ruling is an example of the court's creative interpretation of old terms, considering the advancement of technology.

Naudotos automobilių dalys – atliekos ar pakartotinai naudoti skirta prekė?
30-11-2023

Šiandien dažnai kalbame apie žiedinės ekonomikos tikslus bei siekius sumažinti atliekų kiekį, pratęsiant produktų gyvavimo laikotarpį pakartotinai juos panaudojant, suremontuojant, taisant ar perdirbant. Teisinė bazė dar tik kuriama, tai matome ir Kombinuotoje nomenklatūroje, pavyzdžiui, randame nuostatas dėl tam tikrų atliekų ir laužo, dėl naudotų automobilių, tačiau tokių nuostatų nėra dėl naudotų automobilių detalių - todėl gali kilti nesklandumų šias prekes deklaruojant pasirinktai muitinės procedūrai.

Combined Nomenclature 2024 (and how we... classify dragons)
26-11-2023

Editors’ word: 2024 is the year of the wood dragon (Chinese zodiac sign). How do we classify such a dragon? :-) We can start the discussion with wood and its products, among which we find a dragon tree* (4407 29), and an old legend says that when a dragon dies, it is reborn as a dragon tree... such an interesting fact in the run-up to the New Year. Despite the importance of dragons in 2024, we won't find anything new about them in next year's Combined Nomenclature. However, we invite you to take a look at the other changes - check for any new developments related to your imports or exports. Thank you to Virginija Dordzikienė for the overview.
