Frequently Asked Questions
Does every imported item qualify for a customs exemption?
No. Eligibility depends on the legal basis, applicant, goods, intended use and required approvals. Customs-duty relief also does not automatically remove sales tax.
Which documents help review a customs decision?
Prepare the decision, customs declaration, invoice, certificate of origin, shipping records and correspondence. Note the date served and any deadline; requirements vary by issue.
Is a customs lawyer the same as a customs broker?
No. A broker handles clearance procedures under authorization. A lawyer provides legal review, advice and representation in matters or disputes within the agreed scope.
Information to prepare for a consultation
- Which duty or tax does the decision concern?
- Do the invoice and origin certificate match the actual goods?
- When was the decision served, and what deadline applies?
- Does the exemption request rely on a law, agreement or official approval?
