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.

Customs data requirements in the EU – latest changes
2024-03-24

The Union Customs Code and related regulations set out, among other things, the requirements for the data to be submitted to customs. Normally, these regulations are not often amended.

In this article, we provide an overview of some of the latest changes to the data elements and invite readers who are new to the subject to familiarise themselves with the data tables and the new definitions such as sub-elements, sub-classes and attributes.

Dvi pamokos iš teismų praktikos dėl prekių kilmės
2024-03-20

Redakcijos žodis: Teismų praktika atskleidžia, kokie iššūkiai kyla verslui ir muitinei taikant teisės aktus praktinėse situacijose. Nors įprastai apžvelgiame ES ir Lietuvos teismų praktiką, kai kurios temos (tokios kaip prekių klasifikavimas, kilmė, vertė) yra „universalios“ ir įdomu bei naudinga žinoti kitų šalių, su kuriomis ES prekiauja, teismų praktiką. Kviečiame žvilgtelėti į keletą Izraelio teismų sprendimų šiais klausimais: Kas atsitinka, jei lengvatinę kilmę įrodantį dokumentą pasirašo tokių įgaliojimų neturintis asmuo? Bei, ar įgaliojimas gali būti išduotas atgaline data? Ar gali muitinė nepripažinti deklaruotos nelengvatinės prekių kilmės, lygindama prekės (konkrečiu atveju - riešutų) ypatybes su informacija duomenų bazėse?

The connecting formula in classifying goods under the Harmonized System (HS) Convention
2024-03-17

The language of the Harmonised System (HS) Convention contains many formulas linking goods and their use, such as 'primary', 'principal', 'intended', etc. The HS seems to contain too many of these connection formulae, and the difference between them is not always clear. It is therefore suggested that the World Customs Organisation (WCO) eliminate the undefined terms and look for a method that is as simple as possible. The article below is a short version of the full article, which has been published in the World Customs Journal, 2023, Issue 17(2).

Tvarumo reikalavimai: kaip vykdyti veiklą naujoje realybėje?
2024-03-10

„Pradinė kilmė“ (angl. deep origin) - tai Brian Staples sukurta frazė gilinantis į iššūkius, kylančius tvarumo reikalavimus įtvirtinančioje teisinėje aplinkoje, kuri vis labiau įtraukia muitinę ir verslą. Tai nėra įprastas muitinės sričiai reguliavimas – kalbame apie tarptautines sankcijas ir kitus draudimus importuoti prekes, kurios yra rizikingos, pavyzdžiui, prekes, pagamintas naudojant priverstinį darbą, vergiją ar kitą nepageidaujamą praktiką. Kaip vykdyti veiklą šioje naujoje ir vis sudėtingesnėje teisinėje aplinkoje?

ESTT dėl baudų už muitų teisės pažeidimus teisingumo
2024-03-03

Europos Sąjungoje baudos už pažeidimus ir jų teisingumo klausimai yra valstybių narių kompetencija. Neseniai priimtame sprendime ES Teisingumo Teismas (ESTT) nurodė, kad 50 % dydžio nuo papildomai apskaičiuotos muito sumos bauda yra teisinga „nepaisant atitinkamo ekonominės veiklos vykdytojo sąžiningumo ir jo taikytų atsargumo priemonių“. Ką tai reiškia ES importuotojams, kurie deklaruoja nelengvatinę prekių kilmę remdamiesi trečiųjų šalių valdžios institucijų išduotais įrodymais, kurie, kaip vėliau paaiškėja, yra neteisingi? Apžvelgiame teismo sprendimą ir aptariame, kokias išvadas galėtų padaryti suinteresuoti asmenys.

Klaidų muitinės deklaracijoje taisymas – temos svarba ir netikėti iššūkiai
2024-03-03

„Kas nedirba, tas neklysta“ posakiu taikliai pasakyta, kad klysti žmogiška ir to nepakeisi. Tačiau klaidas valdyti būtina - kad jų būtų kuo mažiau, kad jos būtų kuo greičiau ištaisytos. Sąjungos muitinės kodeksas numato trijų metų laikotarpį, per kurį verslui galima kreiptis į muitinę dėl klaidų ištaisymo, mokestinių permokų susigrąžinimo ar nepriemokos sumokėjimo. Tačiau Lietuvoje naujas nacionalinis teisės aktas nebenumato galimybės taisyti tam tikrus duomenų elementus. Apžvelkime su tuo susijusius verslui kilusius iššūkius, o taip pat ir kitų šalių praktiką bei tendencijas.

Volkswagen Xinjian facility and forced labor
2024-02-28

As the European Union ponders statutes that respond to unverified claims by different organizations of the usage of slave labor in the manufacture of a variety of goods from China, a series of claims has been made against one of the Union’s largest manufacturers: Volkswagen. As we review the claims against Volkswagen it is easy to see how the issue has the capability of wreaking havoc with international trade with the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Some of the claims are so removed from the exported product that one wonders if it is simply an insincere way of removing certain sectors of China from international trade.

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

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)?
