Reader's question. Is it possible to recover import duties if the imported goods are exported? For example, a Lithuanian company imports goods from China (releases them into free circulation). … After a few months, it happens that unchanged goods are sold and exported to a company in Switzerland. In such a case, could the Lithuanian company apply for a refund of import duties? Because the goods were exported and the company itself, if it had foreseen that such a situation would arise, would not have released the goods for free circulation but would have placed them in a customs warehouse. We also operate in the UK, what would be the rules there in a similar situation?

Po kelių mėnesių … susiklosto taip, kad parduoda jas (niekaip nepakeistas) įmonei Šveicarijoje ir eksportuoja. Ar tokiu atveju Lietuvos įmonė galėtų kreiptis dėl importo mokesčių sugrąžinimo? Nes prekės buvo eksportuotos, o pati įmonė, jeigu būtų numačiusi iš anksto, kad susiklostys tokia situacija, būtų neišleidusi prekių į laisvą apyvartą, o padėjusi jas į muitinės sandėlį.
