In this recorded presentation, Anthony Buckley provides an overview and shares insights on the recently published Updated Compendium of Customs Valuation and the new Simplification Guidance:

  • TAXUD has published a new compendium of texts on Valuation. This is a very valuable reference document, listing relevant legislation, and giving decisions and guidance on application in various circumstances.
  • The Guidance published in March 2024 deals with additions and deductions that cannot be quantified at the time of the declaration – such as royalties, bonuses etc. The valuation simplification authorisation is granted under Article 73 UCC. It allows the importer to use agreed criteria to estimate the value of the unquantifiable amounts. 

Please find the slides in the resources section.

Resources are available after purchase.

Supervision costs to make a foodstuff "Kosher" are dutiable in Israel
13-10-2024

Customs valuation disputes are very common worldwide. In Israel, valuation disputes concerning foodstuff supervision costs were resolved few years ago, in favour of the State. It was ruled that these supervision costs are inseparable from the goods value, and therefore dutiable.

Buying commission: should it or should it not be included in the customs value?
25-08-2024

This year, the European Commission published an updated Compendium of customs valuation (Compendium 2024) with several important updates that promise to have a significant impact on the customs valuation process. While its aim is to harmonise the application of legislation and minimise disputes between businesses and customs, it is likely that some of these updates will actually increase the already high number of disputes in this area. This article examines the new Comment No 19 on the buying commission and its implications for enforcement.

The resale of fruit and vegetables at a loss does not automatically means fraudulent manipulation of the customs value. What is needed more?
06-06-2024

The previous article discussed the legal basis for the customs valuation of certain types of fruit and vegetables and the verification of the accuracy of such valuation. This article focuses on a specific case considered by the Bulgarian courts and subsequently referred to the Court of Justice of the EU. The Court of Justice of the EU has issued a preliminary ruling, which should bring more clarity for the procedures related to customs valuation of fruit and vegetables imported into the EU.

Year-end transfer pricing adjustments and the customs value
11-02-2024

Customs value and transfer pricing could be likened to Siamese twins - that's how closely linked they are. Let's discuss some practical questions related to the year-end transfer pricing adjustments: If the price is revised upwards, does the importer have to go to customs and pay additional duties? If the price is revised downwards, is the importer entitled to a refund of duties? If the goods are duty-free and there is no excise duty, but only import VAT (which is deductible in any case)?
