This course deals with the customs value of goods imported into the customs territory of the EU. As customs value is the basis for calculating customs duties and other import taxes, its determination is one of the key moments of customs-related activity. An incorrect determination of the customs value can lead to an overpayment, but also to an underpayment to the state budget, which can be subject to penalties and fines. For this reason, customs value is crucial for both importers and customs authorities.
In this course, you will learn the key principles for determining customs value under different trading conditions, the main legal requirements you need to comply with and the main challenges you may face. The course is one of the modules of the extensive Customs clearance and trade compliance in the EU training (see the brochure).
