In a customs territory, uniform customs laws apply and there are no internal customs or similar taxes. A customs territory covers territories including their territorial waters, internal waters, and airspace.

Watch the video and learn answers to these questions:

  • Is the customs territory the same as the national territory?
  • Where does the customs territory at sea and on land begin and end? How about the airspace?

In the video, there are examples of European Union customs territory provided.

Task

The video ends with the task regarding customs territory in the air. You should know that the customs territory in the air covers not only the customs territory above the ground and the internal waters, but also includes the airstrip above the territorial waters (in the sea). This principle derives from the Geneva Convention on the High Seas (1958).

Memo

By international law, territorial waters cover 12 nautical miles (22.2 km) out from a nation's coastline (the baseline); internal waters include waters on the side of the baseline of territorial waters that is facing toward the land and waterways such as rivers and canals.

Getting information from Customs in Ukraine: Is it even possible?
05-03-2023

“He who owns information owns the world”, said Nathan M. Rothschild two centuries ago. The quote is relevant today particularly when it comes to customs. What if a company needs information from customs authorities? Is it possible to obtain it? Are customs obliged to provide it to a company or an individual? This article deals with the problems faced by Ukrainian companies in obtaining the information they need from the customs authorities. We also take a look at the provisions of the EU Customs Code.

Customs law in EU: 1 or 27 interpretations?
26-02-2023

A recently published comparative analysis of Member States' customs authorisation procedures for the entry of products into the EU concludes that the EU is a customs union with common legislation, customs rules, procedures and a single development plan; yet, for a number of objective reasons and considerations, each Member State manages and develops its customs activities at its own pace and according to its own interpretation of the Union Customs Code. We overview some aspects of the analysis.
