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, 

The ever-changing environment of international trade constantly creates new challenges for traders and practitioners of customs law. Many of them are covered in this bimonthly journal which has already reached the 10th issue. 

This issue focuses on various topics, one of which covers the complex and crucial aspects of rules of origin. The authors discuss the application of these rules under preferential trade agreements and the actual practices relating to their application in the EU Member States. Regulation of specific customs procedures in the EU such as inward and outward processing is another topic. Non-tariff regulation of international trade operations which, due to its diversity, is a common “headache” for business. In this issue, authors deal with packaging issues, the application of the "CE" marking regime and the import of dangerous products. And of course, there is compliance. In addition to these topics, we present country-specific news and overviews covering Ukraine, Northern Ireland (UK) and Canada.

Finally, I would like to draw your attention to one particular article in this issue. After evaluating the experience of the authors of the CCRM journal, for the first time, we share insights relevant to all future writers and authors on how to write a practical article on customs. We also provide advice on developing professional competence in customs law, such as what to look for and where to focus attention on. See the article by A. Buckley “Acquiring customs competence: What is the process?” in the “Knowledge” section.

Please enjoy reading and do not forget to leave us your feedback under info@lcpa.lt!

Changes in the application of the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean (PEM) rules of preferential origin from 1 September 2021
28-09-2021

The contracting parties to the PEM Convention have agreed on the application of the transitional rules pending the application of the modernized PEM Convention. This opens the possibility for economic operators to choose between the rules of preferential origin set out in the PEM Convention and the transitional rules. The latter rules are in many cases more flexible and simpler. Let us look at this new possibility.

Planning tariff changes: suspensions
28-09-2021

The possibility of tariff suspensions is actively used by businesses in the EU - importers save significant amounts of duties. It is also important for EU exporters, for instance, exporting their products to the UK, where tariff suspensions are used as well and may result in increased demand for certain products from the EU. We are talking to Žydrė Bartaškienė, Adviser of the Tariff Division of the Customs Department, about various aspects of this topic - news, tariff classification of goods, financial planning in business, and others.

The case study is about a company, which brings in a lot of equipment and manufactures some equipment in Northern Ireland (which is in a unique situation as it has become part of two customs territories this year - the UK and the EU) and then exports 95% of its products again.

Controversies and peculiarities regarding application of rules of origin in EU Member States: practice in the Republic of Lithuania
25-09-2021

The article discusses the peculiarities of the practical application of European Union (EU) rules on customs origin in the EU Member State - the Republic of Lithuania and presents the current practice of national authorities in this area (in tax disputes related to the origin of imported goods), emphasizes its peculiarities and differences from practices in other EU Member States. The analysis performed and described in the article substantiates that in the Republic of Lithuania the possible sources of proof of customs origin of goods are assessed and interpreted in a unique and rather formal way. Besides, the burden of proving the origin of imported goods and its distribution between customs and importer is understood specifically and can be considered as more favourable to importers than the usual practice at the EU level.

Trade defence instruments (TDIs): what EU importers and exporters should know
11-09-2021

The European Commission has published its 39th Annual Report on the use of trade defence instruments (TDIs) in 2020. The TDIs are applied to prevent unfair trade practices, mainly cheap imports due to dumping or subsidies, which harm EU producers. However, EU importers, especially SMEs, are often caught by a newly launched TDI unprepared and not aware of the unfair trade. The price of unawareness is high - the amount of import duties to be paid may be similar to the price of the goods themselves.

Why is it important to control wood packaging material?
04-09-2021

We often do not even think that the wood packaging material (WPM) used in trade to support, strengthen, and transport any production can pose any threat. However, there is a huge threat. Pests can spread with WPM. These harmful organisms do not choose - parks, private gardens, private yards with cultivated vegetation, or forest. Once in the country and under the right conditions, pests spread very quickly, and it is extremely difficult to eradicate them. The fight against already existing pests causes severe economic, emotional damage by cutting down and destroying all trees that are infected, regardless of where they grow and the value they have.

Acquiring customs competence: What is the process?
24-08-2021

The removal of the World’s 5th largest economy (the UK) from the EU Single Market faced all European countries with an unprecedented challenge – to rapidly develop business understanding and expert competence in customs, trade and international regulation – in an environment where the progressive liberalisation of trade had effectively depleted customs expertise over a period of 50 years. Brexit also presents us with a unique opportunity to address some key questions in training.
