In this video, Anthony Buckley provides an overview and shares insights on the tariffs relating to the 'EU law news' published in the course of four weeks:

  • This month’s EU Law Review includes a major speech by Sabine Weyand, Director-General of DG Trade, on challenges facing World supply chains. 
  • It also includes 18 notifications of Tariff  measures, and every month sees some such announcements. What is the connection between Tariffs and World Trade? How does it  work?
  • Since the WTO commenced in 1995, the focus, and the success of the WTO, has been the publication of the standard Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariffs of each country. These are intended to give full transparency and fairness to World trade, with no discrimination between countries. One might expect, then, to see considerable fluctuations in published MFN rates, as countries regulate their imports for economic reasons. Can we see that?

The EU autonomous suspensions and quotas scheme: a glimpse behind the curtain of (an esoteric) Brussels trade committee
07-08-2024

Article 28 of the Treaty of Rome provides for the temporary suspension of duties under the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) on imports of raw materials and components for further processing. This is possible where it is established that the EU-based companies are unable to obtain supplies of the product or suitable substitutes. This article aims to describe the process for successfully applying for an autonomous suspension or quota from the initial completion of the prescribed form to the discussions in the Committee rooms in the European Commission in Brussels.

Car wars: the EU announced additional tariffs on imports of Chinese battery electric vehicles
20-06-2024

China is facing increasing pressure over exports of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as a number of countries contemplate applying measures to protect domestic markets from what they consider to be unfair and market-distorting subsidisation by the Chinese government. On 12 June 2024, the European Commission pre-disclosed new tariffs as a result of an anti-subsidy investigation launched towards the end of 2023. This follows 100% applied on Chinese BEVs introduced by the US in May 2024 and a 40% tariff on conventional and hybrid vehicle imports from China imposed by Türkiye earlier in June.

Is payment of customs duties suspended if a dispute is brought before a court?
19-05-2024

Did you know that customs duties are one of the European Union's own resources? Therefore, when you challenge customs decisions to calculate customs duties, you are essentially challenging EU revenue. In this overview of a recent judgement by the Court of Justice of the European Union, we answer the question of whether, in the event of a dispute with customs, the collection of import duties (customs duties and VAT) is suspended until the outcome of the proceedings is known.
