Dangerous product - release for free circulation in the EU not authorised
21-08-2021

Editorial word. The website of the State Consumer Rights Protection Authority (SCRPA), Lithuania contains numerous reports of prohibited products to be placed on the market, for example, due to the risk of injury, it is prohibited to place a scooter from China on the market (see picture below). Therefore, importers seeking the smooth release of goods for free circulation need to be certain of the product's compliance with EU safety requirements. Mr. Arvydas Naina, Head of the Market Surveillance Planning and Risk Assessment Division, SCRPA, kindly agreed to answer questions on the topic.

New dual-use regulation: What are the changes in the "rules of the game"?
17-07-2021

Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2021 was published in the OJEU L 206 of 11 June 2021. This regulation recasts and repeals regulation 428/2009 on dual-use items (items designed for civilian purposes but which may have both civilian and military use). It will be applicable as of September 9, 2021. While the amendments do not change the fundamental principles of the control of trade or the general scheme of the Regulation, they will nevertheless result in some changes to the current "rules of the game". The changes are briefly outlined here and concern primarily new or revised definitions.

Interface to the German ELAN-K2 export system – upload BAFA reports quickly and automatically
10-07-2021

Semi-annual reports to the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) usually involve a time-consuming process. BAFA, therefore, offers a free interface with the ELAN-K2 export system for the automated transmission of data. But how does this work and what does XML, API and ERP mean?

Mapping of Customs Nomenclature with food safety standards in India: a far-sighted strategy to streamline clearance of food products
31-10-2020

Several government and private stakeholders are involved in the clearance of imported food products. To ensure a smooth process, close coordination and sharing of information backed by robust information technology (IT) processes are needed. With this in mind, India’s food safety agency has mapped Customs Nomenclature codes with Food Safety and Standards Regulations, a move which has enabled further integration of IT systems and better risk management.

Intelectual property: electronic documents - better enforcement

While the digital transition of communication between individuals and customs is increasingly taking place, as well as the need to reduce or even eliminate the transmission of paper documents arises, from 15-09-2020 amendments of Regulation (EU) No 608/2013, providing for a different procedure for applications for customs supervision measures, entered into force. The biggest change is related to the form of submission of documents. From now on, applicants' national or European Union applications for customs supervision measures, as well as other necessary documentation, is submitted to the responsible customs office via the European Union Intellectual Property Office (hereinafter referred to as EUIPO) IP Enforcement Portal. What else has changed and what action should Rightsholders and other applicants have to take?

Ar tokio eksporto sąlygos yra tinkamos, priimtinos bei gali užtikrinti sklandžius prekybos srautus ir reikiamas teisines garantijas veikiant Indijos rinkoje?

Customs supervision measures – effective protection of intellectual property rights
23-05-2020

Once goods infringing intellectual property rights are released for free circulation, more than one entity is affected. To begin with, the biggest and most obvious damage is caused to the right owner or holder himself due to the fact that counterfeits on the market have a negative impact on sales, price, product position in the market. The buyer does not benefit in this situation as well, the acquired good does not meet quality or even safety standards, usually there is no possibility to take advantage of consumer protection. In addition, IP infringements distort competition, which means that honest and law-abiding manufacturers or traders are put in an unequal position. Finally, counterfeit and pirated goods market creates damage in terms of uncollected taxes as well.
