Import of goods

Import of goods, as follows from the definition, is the import of goods from the territory of a third country to the territory of the European Union. In order for the imported goods to be used as intended, they must be subject to the appropriate customs procedure. In 90% of cases it will be a marketing authorization procedure, while the remaining 10% are special procedures.

Import of goods – how to do it?

To import, first of all, you must present the goods to the Customs and Tax Office. It is worth emphasizing that most often it will not be a border office. There are many restrictions and fees associated with the import of goods, which is why most often goods are placed under the transit procedure at border customs offices and then sent to internal offices. After presenting the goods at the Office, customs clearance/customs declaration must be made for the requested customs procedure. Then, the Office will verify the correctness of our declaration and, above all, check whether there are any restrictions on the goods being subject to the requested procedure. Finally, all we have to do is pay the customs and tax liabilities that were previously calculated in the declaration, and that’s it.

Restrictions on the import of goods

There are many restrictions related to the import of goods, but they can be divided into two categories:

  • tariffs (duties and tariff quotas, i.e. a specific amount of goods that can be imported at preferential customs rates)
  • non-tariff (quantitative restrictions, import taxes, import supervision, levies, technical standards, sanitary and veterinary requirements that a product must meet to be introduced to a given market, internal protectionism, e.g. regional in a given country).

As you can see, there is quite a bit of it, so it is worth using the help of specialists during customs clearance in the import procedure.
