Customs Law Consultations of the European Union Regarding Customs Movement of Goods Within and Beyond the EU
The client reached out with a query regarding the customs movement of goods across the European Union borders and beyond, as well as the registration of the corresponding permits and documents. We provided a professional consultation, explaining the key aspects of EU customs legislation, as well as the requirements for preparing and submitting customs declarations, certificates, licenses, and other documents necessary for the customs movement of goods.
Key Stages of Customs Movement of Goods Within the EU
- Goods Assessment: First, an assessment of the goods being moved must be conducted to determine the correct tariff category and customs duties. This includes checking the classification of the goods according to the European Customs Code.
- Customs Declaration Submission: After assessing the goods, a customs declaration must be submitted electronically through the relevant customs authorities. This initiates customs control and ensures the necessary documentation is provided.
- Payment of Customs Duties and Taxes: After submitting the customs declaration, all relevant customs duties and taxes on the goods must be paid. These may include import duties, VAT, and excise taxes.
Important Documents for Customs Movement of Goods
- Customs Declaration: This is the main document that contains information about the goods, their value, origin, and other important details. It is mandatory for customs control.
- Certificate of Origin: This document confirms the country of origin of the goods and is used to determine applicable tariff rates.
- Licenses and Permits: Certain categories of goods may require special permits, licenses, or certificates, such as quality certificates or environmental permits.
Q&A on EU Customs Legislation
Question
How should I properly prepare a customs declaration for goods crossing EU borders?
Answer
The customs declaration must be submitted electronically through the EU customs system. It is necessary to provide details about the goods, their classification, value, origin, and other important characteristics. Additionally, documents supporting the customs value and origin of the goods should be attached.
Question
What are the specific customs control requirements for goods imported from non-EU countries?
