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.

A chance for businesses to reduce their post-Brexit customs duty bill – UK tariff suspensions
22-05-2021

Exactly a year following the publication of the UK’s Global Tariff, the UK government announced on 20 May 2021 that the UK will launch its own tariff suspension scheme, tailored to the needs of UK businesses. This means legible goods will benefit from paying no customs duties upon import into the UK. As a UK business paying customs duties currently, this is a window of opportunity to apply for a tariff suspension to reduce your future customs duty bill. What does this mean in practice, and who can apply for this benefit?

Что не так с таможенной стоимостью в Украине?
22-05-2021

Таможенная оценка импортируемых в Украину товаров является одной из самых сложных стадий внешнеторговой операции. И если определить таможенную стоимость импортируемых в страну товаров не представляет особой сложности, то убедить таможню в том, что такая стоимость является реальной, соответствующей цене, фактически уплаченной или подлежащей уплате за товары, как правило, бывает практически невозможно. Отсюда – большое количество обжалований в судах решений таможен о корректировке таможенной стоимости, заявленной декларантом. Статистика судебных разбирательств в таких делах свидетельствует не в пользу таможенных органов. Так, в целом в делах с участием украинских таможен принято 80% (2330 из 2917 рассмотренных за 11 месяцев 2020 года) решений судов в пользу истцов (импортеров, декларантов и т.д.).

Alternative proof of ending transit procedure
15-05-2021

In this article, we outline issues that holders of the procedure (who provide a guarantee to cover the amount of potential debt) might face in case the Union transit procedure or common transit procedure is not properly ended in the electronic customs systems. A real case, when the T1 transit procedure was not ended in Germany, and the goods were shipped to Russia, is provided as an example of an issue.

Customs tariff in simple terms: "mechanical and electric appliances"​ of​ chapters 84 and 85
15-05-2021

The mechanical engineering industry has a problem. Or more specifically the customs specialists at the respective companies. The departments of these companies can cooperate so well with each other and provide each other with important information for everyday work, but the customs tariff is and remains a sticking point. Simply because there is little background knowledge about it and also the limited offer of further education often focuses on the customs tariff in general. This is also one of the reasons why ERP master data around foreign trade is often not correctly maintained.

Managing the cost of making customs declarations: are software solutions the future?
07-04-2021

How much does it cost? When goods cross a border, customs formalities must be completed. Customs brokers help businesses complete these formalities. In the UK, £32.50 per declaration is HMRC’s estimated cost of this service, but in reality, the price tag can be as high as £150 per declaration. For businesses trading between the UK and the EU, this is an additional cost of Brexit. Unlike customs duties, this cost cannot be reduced by using the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Many businesses are considering completing customs declarations in-house with the help of software solutions. But is this the right option for everyone?

Customs law and the international context
07-04-2021

We, Milda Stravinskė and Monika Bielskienė, met to discuss the broader international context of our day-to-day customs activities. First and foremost, customs law is a 'companion' to international trade, so the international context and cooperation, common rules, agreements, and approaches, are inevitable. No importer or customs authority operates in isolation. The need to reconcile many spheres and interests leads to an abundance of international agreements and requirements. While preparing the courses for customs brokers, we both saw the need to disclose this context to our future colleagues. The easiest way to do this is by sharing personal experiences. So we talked about it.
