Do we have time to prepare for the introduction of trade defence measures?
31-12-2021

Importers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are often unaware of trade defence instruments (TDIs) and face the consequences of newly introduced measures unprepared, thus incurring unforeseen costs. Is it possible to prepare for this and thus, albeit partially, manage the risks associated with the introduction of TDIs? One mean to manage such risks would be regular monitoring of the regulatory environment. Of course, this requires resources, but it is equally important to know the process and deadlines for setting the TDI, as well as why different sizes of measures apply to the same product imported from the same non-EU country and where to find the necessary information. Thus, this is to be discussed in the article.

Anti-dumping duties. Is the tariff classification of goods still important?
09-12-2021

In recent case law, the Court of Justice of the European Union clarified what determines the application of anti-dumping duties on specific goods, such as tariff classification of goods or other criteria. Although different criteria are preferred in practice, for the first time, a step has been taken to separate the tariff classification from the characteristics of the product subject to trade regulation measures.

Governments should consider waiving taxes on transport costs until we are back to “normal”
06-11-2021

The exponential increase in transport costs over the past few months has placed a strain on importers and on economic recovery. One solution would be for governments to waive taxes on these costs. In Israel, the law already allows for such an exemption in the case of special circumstances beyond the importer’s control.

Planning tariff changes: suspensions
28-09-2021

The possibility of tariff suspensions is actively used by businesses in the EU - importers save significant amounts of duties. It is also important for EU exporters, for instance, exporting their products to the UK, where tariff suspensions are used as well and may result in increased demand for certain products from the EU. We are talking to Žydrė Bartaškienė, Adviser of the Tariff Division of the Customs Department, about various aspects of this topic - news, tariff classification of goods, financial planning in business, and others.

Trade defence instruments (TDIs): what EU importers and exporters should know
11-09-2021

The European Commission has published its 39th Annual Report on the use of trade defence instruments (TDIs) in 2020. The TDIs are applied to prevent unfair trade practices, mainly cheap imports due to dumping or subsidies, which harm EU producers. However, EU importers, especially SMEs, are often caught by a newly launched TDI unprepared and not aware of the unfair trade. The price of unawareness is high - the amount of import duties to be paid may be similar to the price of the goods themselves.

Tinkamas importo akcizų administratorius teismų praktikos vertinimu: VMI ar muitinė?
04-09-2021

Praktikoje kartas nuo karto kyla klausimai kas yra tinkamas importo akcizo mokesčio administratorius – muitinė ar Valstybinė mokesčių inspekcija (VMI) ir kuriais atvejais? Tai ypač aktualu tais atvejais, kai importuotos akcizais apmokestinamos prekės vėliau buvo perdirbtos ir eksportuotos, kas, savo ruožtu, sudaro pagrindą svarstyti klausimą atleisti jas nuo akcizo mokesčio. Akivaizdu, jog praktiniu požiūriu itin svarbu žinoti, kuris mokesčio administratorius – muitinė ar VMI - turėtų spręsti tokį klausimą ir kokia tvarka (procedūra) bei kuomet? Straipsnyje, remiantis naujausia Lietuvos vyriausiojo administracinio praktika bei išaiškinimais, aptariami minėti probleminiai aspektai bei pateikiami atsakymai į nurodytus klausimus.
