Dear Reader,

Customs formalities cover global supply chains from the country of exportation to the country of importation. The legal rules to be addressed on the way are extensive (tariff, non-tariff, safety, etc.). They vary across countries and regions, change constantly, and often are inaccessible because of the language barrier and/ or unavailability online. 

Businesses aim to arrange customs formalities in the most cost-effective way, taking into account tariff preferences, the variety of customs procedures, and the simplifications. Therefore, the task to ensure compliant and cost-effective customs formalities is a complex one and any customs-related topic is in the scope of the journal. 

At the core of the Customs Compliance & Risk Management Journal for Practitioners in Europe are these keywords: up-to-date customs knowledge, compliance, harmonisation and simplification of the international and national rules (the simpler the rules, the easier to trade and to manage compliance and risks).

The first bi-monthly issue was released at the end of March 2020. Stakeholders - business, customs, academia, and others - from all over the world are invited to read the journal and to contribute articles.

Dear Readers,

On behalf of the Editorial Board I’d like to offer you a warm welcome to the 22nd issue of the Customs Compliance & Risk Management Journal (CCRM). As a member of this highly international board, I currently work as a Senior Trade Compliance Manager for Amazon at their EU headquarters in Luxembourg where my focus is on import/export trade compliance and AEO governance. 

This issue packs a wide array of topics pertinent in today’s trade compliance landscape!

What role does and should the EU play in the development of ‘mega-free’ trade agreements? Asia-Pacific and the Americas take the spotlight, with the traditional WTO-focused model eroding. Take an in-depth look into current and future ‘mega’ free trade agreements, what are the implications for the EU and its role in their development. 

With the advent of ChatGPT, the world has been a flutter with talk of AI and its role in the workplace. A customs broker takes an in-depth look and how such tools can be used to assist in HS classification, generating customs response letters and more. 

For those of us based in the EU, the upcoming CBAM legislation has undoubtedly been on the docket of many meetings. How CBAM will play out in practice and its management within companies is an open question; explore with us with a thorough analysis of the legislation, its mechanics and management best practices. 

I sincerely hope you enjoy this 22nd issue of the CCRM. While you’re here, why not consider contributing? We are always on the lookout for fresh content from trade compliance practioners around the world. Reach out to info@customsclear.net for more information and to introduce yourself!

CBAM transitional period: roles and responsibilities
2023-10-11

EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) regulation entered its transitional phase on 1st October, 2023. From that day on, importers have to collect and report data on greenhouse gases emitted during the production of CBAM goods. Since the data must be collected from the manufacturers in non-EU countries, a process must be established for the corresponding communication. Given the complexity of supply chains, this process may involve multiple actors between the importer and third country facilities. In addition, several EU and national authorities are involved. Who is/can be who? Who does what? What are the responsibilities?

Input tax credits on imported goods in Canada
2023-10-08

The person entitled to claim an input tax credit for GST payable on imported goods in Canada is not always the person who pays the tax. This counter-intuitive situation generally occurs when the importer of record is a non-resident. It arises because more than one person may accept liability for duties, taxes and other customs obligations.

Three questions about customs value of goods in transactions between the related parties in Ukraine
2023-10-08

The issue of customs valuation is extremely important for Ukraine. The author has written about it in previous issues of the journal. A special case of customs valuation is no exception - when the seller and the buyer are related parties. The concept of "related parties" in Ukrainian legislation is fully compatible with the GATT, as the Customs Code of Ukraine refers directly to Article 15 of the WTO Customs Valuation Agreement rather than defining this concept. It would seem that if there is nothing wrong with the legislation and if it is in line with accepted standards and principles, there should be no problems with its application. However, this is not the case.

Apgavikai tiekimo grandinėje: kas moka mokesčius dėl apgaulės būdu užbaigtų formalumų?
2023-09-24

Kaltumo prezumpcija - sakysite, kad taip nebūna. Deja - mokesčių teisėje laikoma, kad dėl mokesčio įstatymo pažeidimo kaltas mokesčių mokėtojas, jeigu jis neįrodo priešingai. Tik klausimas, ar net ir įrodžius savo nekaltumą, mokesčių mokėtojui neteks susimokėti mokesčius. Aktualiu sprendimu Europos Sąjungos Teisingumo Teismas (ESTT) išaiškino, ar akcizinio sandėlio savininkui (kurio kaltė neįrodyta) teks sumokėti suspenduotus mokesčius (šioje byloje - beveik 3 mln. Eur) tuo atveju, kai formalumų užbaigimo įrodymai buvo suklastoti, o prekės nugabentos nežinia kur. Išaiškinimai svarbūs ne tik akcizinių sandėlių savininkams, bet ir visiems suspenduotų mokesčių režimų – tranzito, muitinės sandėlio, laikinojo įvežimo perdirbti ir kitų – naudotojams, siekiantiems kuo geriau suprasti, įsivertinti ir valdyti susijusią riziką. ESTT taip pat išaiškino, kuomet prekės laikomos „prarastomis“ ir mokesčių nereikia mokėti.

Chat GPT ir Google Bard: DI naudojimas muitinės tarpininko darbe

Dirbtinis intelektas (DI) – dar praėjusiais metais ši tema buvo vos girdima, o štai dabar atrodo, kad tema gvildenama bene kiekvienoje konferencijoje ir gali būti pritaikoma kiekvienoje srityje. Pasigirdus kalboms apie rinkoje atsiradusį dirbtinį intelektą bei galimybe juo naudotis – įrankis atrodė toks tolimas ir negirdėtas, o spaudoje pasirodžius pirmiesiems pranešimams tikrai nemanėme, kad ir mes, muitinės tarpininkai, galėsime pritaikyti savo veikloje šį įrankį.

Transport services VAT exempt because already in import tax base? You will need to prove it!
2023-09-24

The Romanian company provides transportation services. It transported goods from the port of Rotterdam (the Netherlands) to Cluj-Napoca (Romania) under transit procedure. Goods were released into free circulation in Romania. It treated transportation service as VAT exempt because it assumed that transportation cost was included into the import VAT taxable base. Tax authorities claimed otherwise: the taxpayer failed to provide documents confirming that the transportation cost was included into the import VAT taxable base. Consequently, they denied the exemption. The dispute between the company and the tax authorities reached as far as the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), which recently issued clarifications on the application of the provisions of the VAT Directive in this case.

A storm in a tea kettle
2023-09-17

A few days ago, an Israeli court accepted a claim by an importer of electric kettles against the customs authority, regarding the classification of the products for customs purposes. The court adopted the importer's position that the kettles should be classified in subheading 851610 of the HS as "immersion heaters" and rejected the customs position to classify them in subheading 851670 as "other electro-thermal devices". This ruling is an example of the court's creative interpretation of old terms, considering the advancement of technology.

Management of customs procedure code 42 in Austria and Germany – pitfalls and opportunities
2023-08-27

Instead of declaring non-Union goods for release for free circulation under code 40 (in which case import VAT will also become due), an importer established in another Member State (MS) than that in which such goods will be released for the procedure (and will thus become Union goods) has – often using the services of a representative who is either a freight forwarder or a customs broker – the option of declaring code 42, thus avoiding the obligation to pay the import VAT and regular VAT in the import clearance MS, with the consequence that (only) the regular VAT is to be paid in the MS of destination (where the importer or consignee is established) on an intra-EU acquisition (and the importer can thus avoid a VAT registration in the MS of import clearance). This is already my summary of the opportunities. The remaining part of this article will deal with the pitfalls experienced by customs practitioners in Austria (AT) and Germany (DE). At the end, I will also try to give an outlook into the future.
