The connecting formula in classifying goods under the Harmonized System (HS) Convention
17-03-2024

The language of the Harmonised System (HS) Convention contains many formulas linking goods and their use, such as 'primary', 'principal', 'intended', etc. The HS seems to contain too many of these connection formulae, and the difference between them is not always clear. It is therefore suggested that the World Customs Organisation (WCO) eliminate the undefined terms and look for a method that is as simple as possible. The article below is a short version of the full article, which has been published in the World Customs Journal, 2023, Issue 17(2).

Prekių deklaravimo pokyčiai, iššūkiai ir aktualūs klausimai
25-02-2024

Viena po kitos keičiamos ir atnaujinamos muitinės sistemos – kovą pradėsime naudoti elektroninius T2L, iMDAS importui, tačiau ir neseniai įgyvendinti pokyčiai dar kelia klausimų, pavyzdžiui, kaip teisingai deklaruoti prekes nelikus procedūros kodo „49“ arba kaip tam tikrais atvejais forminti eksportą iš muitinei priimtinos vietos. Muitinės praktikų asociacijos nariai aktyviai diskutuoja šiais klausimais virtualiame forume, o taip pat kviečia į kovo 7 d. vyksiantį vebinarą-apkrito stalo diskusiją „Aktualūs pokyčiai muitinės deklaracijoje“. Apžvelkime pokyčių muitinės deklaracijoje temą, verslui kylančius iššūkius ir atsakymus į minėtus praktinius klausimus.

Partnership with private sector leads to enhanced certainty in the classification of products in Brazil
23-02-2024

Brazil is on the cusp of a groundbreaking transformation, with the rollout of an upgraded version 2.0 of its Foreign Trade Single Window, the Portal Único Siscomex. A core innovation within the Portal is the introduction of a catalogue describing products using pre-defined attributes. The new system has been made possible thanks to an exceptional partnership between private and public entities who worked hand in hand to redefine the way products are identified for cross-border trade.

MERCOSUR launches Customs Data Model based on WCO standard and takes a leap forward in terms of data exchange
23-02-2024

The Southern Common Market (known as MERCOSUR) is a regional integration process initially established by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, and subsequently joined by Venezuela (currently suspended) and Bolivia (whose accession procedure is still underway). MERCOSUR makes its decisions through three bodies: the Council of the Common Market (CMC), which is the main MERCOSUR body that conducts the integration process politically; the Common Market Group (GMC), which oversees the day-to-day functioning of the bloc; and the Mercosur Trade Commission (CCM), which is responsible for the administration of common commercial policy instruments.

EU Customs Data Model (EUCDM)
31-12-2023

The electronic customs declaration consists of data elements that should be harmonised worldwide so that customs can verify the data flow from the exporting country to the importing country. The World Customs Organisation has developed the WCO data model, which provides a universal language for cross-border data exchange. The EU has adopted this model for its own purposes and for trans-European use.

UCC e-systems: Updated implementation deadlines
26-12-2023

The remaining electronic systems provided for in the Union Customs Code (UCC) will be implemented in 2024 and 2025. The introduction of a new customs system can have various implications for a company, depending on its specific activity: time savings when paper documents become electronic (e.g. T2L), significant financial savings thanks to new simplification possibilities (e.g. centralised clearance), the need to adapt company processes and software to the transition to the new systems, or simply the potential for disruption during implementation (for example, the introduction of new services of the Intelligent Customs Declaration System (iMDAS) this month in Lithuania has led to a sad joke in business community that the only Christmas wish is a working iMDAS), etc. On 15 December, the European Commission adopted a new work programme to replace the previous one. Let's take a look at the updated implementation deadlines for the systems planned for the coming years. If you work with these systems, you should think about how they will or might affect your organisation and prepare accordingly.

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.

The invisible paper chain in today’s Customs document flow and how to break it using Artificial Intelligence
19-10-2023

As in other sectors, the logistics sector has benefited from digitization in recent years, allowing a smoother flow of goods across the globe. These advancements have promised, and to some extent also delivered, efficiency and convenience. However, a more ‘inconvenient truth’ today is that a considerable volume of critical information still circulates in the form of non-standardized documents sent via email. Today, new developments in Artificial Intelligence are proving promising in enabling the data extraction of these unstructured documents and scans to finally fully break the paper chain.
