Transaction value method

Photo by Job Savelsberg on Unsplash

The customs value of imported goods is determined mainly for the purposes of applying ad valorem rates of customs duties. It constitutes the taxable basis for customs duties. It is also an essential element for compiling trade statistics, monitoring quantitative restrictions, applying tariff preferences, and collecting national taxes.

Today, almost all customs administrations of the current 164 World Trade Organisation (WTO) Members value imported goods in terms of the provisions of the WTO Agreement on Customs Valuation (adopted in 1994). This Agreement establishes a customs valuation system that primarily bases the customs value on the transaction value of imported goods, which is the price actually paid or payable for the goods when sold for export to the country of importation, plus, certain adjustments of costs and charges.

Currently more than 90% of world trade is valued on the basis of the transaction value method which provides more predictability, uniformity and transparency for the business community.

The explanation prepared by WCO Academy, the provider of online courses on the topic: Valuation concepts and transaction value, Advanced valuation methods, Transfer Pricing.

Do you swear to tell the truth? Israeli "importer's affidavit" concerning customs valuation
26-03-2023

The Israeli customs authority has, as I believe, invented an original tool to gain more information about specific goods valuation process, even before officially starting an audit. The tool is called the "importer's affidavit". As far as I know, there is no similar requirement in other jurisdictions.

Kaip tinkamai deklaruoti mažos vertės nukainotas prekes?
22-03-2023

Kuo turėtų pasirūpinsi apdairus ir rūpestingas ūkio subjektas, kad kuo mažiau kiltų rūpesčių importuojant pigesnes, nukainotas, praėjusio sezono prekes ir deklaruojant jas muitinei? Kada muitinė atmes importuojamoms prekėms sandorio vertės metodą ir taikys kitus muitinio įvertinimo metodus?

Kaip sutaupyti importo mokesčių? arba Kuo svarbi pirmoji įvežimo į ES vieta?
01-02-2023

Skaitytojo klausimas: Prekės iš Taivano FOB sąlygomis gabenamos į Klaipėdą. Pakeliui Hamburgo uoste perkraunamos (tik perkraunamos, daugiau niekas neatliekama) iš vieno konteinerinio laivo į kitą. Ar importuotojas gali transportavimo Hamburg – Klaipėda kaštus traukti tik į PVM apmokestinamąją vertę (t. y. neapmokestinti muitu)? Jei taip, ką daryti tokiu atveju, kai vežėjo sąskaitoje yra nurodyta bendra suma už visą maršrutą – ar užtektų jo pažymos dėl transportavimo kainos Hamburg - Klaipėda?
