Topic: law
Tag: Ukraine

“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.

DAP Incoterm and imports

18-07-2024
