👉 On May 23, 2024, the 10th Customs Practices Conference was held in Vilnius, attended by Giedrė Petrauskė, a customs broker from Autovesta. During the conference, current topics in the customs field, such as legal issues and trends, the customs system, and practical challenges in the application of customs law, were reviewed. 💬 📢 Every time we ask our colleagues returning from training whether it was interesting and, most importantly, whether it was useful. Giedrė's response was, "The training was useful, I learned a lot of information, and we met colleagues from different cities who share the same experiences as us." Training is not only about receiving information and gaining valuable theoretical and practical knowledge. During the training, we can also build relationships, meet colleagues from the same field, and share ideas and thoughts. 🤝

MIIS TRADE LAW STUDENTS BRIEF HOMELAND SECURITY OFFICIALS International Trade Law students and Import/Export Compliance students from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey (“MIIS”) recently delivered their analyses of selected states' reported import and export data (Mirror Gap Analyses – “MGA”) to the Department of Homeland Security [Homeland Security Investigations – Trade Transparency Unit (HSI-TTU)] on Thursday, 20 June 2024. The Mirror Gap Analysis uses open-source trade data on a particular state's reported cumulative volumes and quantities of exports and imports to determine if the reported cumulative exports from that selected state match the cumulative imports reported by that state’s trading partners. Ideally, the reported total exports of a given product or commodity should be the same as the reported total imports of those products or commodities. Put another way, reported imports should be a “mirror image” of reported exports. If there is a difference between these reported values (a “gap”), MIIS students perform an analysis (the ‘Mirror Gap Analysis”) of the reported data to look for indicators of trade-based financial crimes. MIIS students have been working with the Department of Homeland Security (HSI-TTU) for five years to support HSI-TTU programs and investigations. The students have been responding directly to HSI-TTU requests for analytical data on selected states and report their findings on a semi-annual basis. This cooperative effort between HSI-TTU and MIIS has not only supported HSI-TTU initiatives; it has also given rise to an ongoing internship program whereby MIIS students with a background in international trade law and import/export compliance will report to the HSI-TTU as summer interns. This particular presentation included an MGA for Vietnam, The Republic of the Philippines, The Republic of Korea, Nigeria, and The Kingdom of Norway. These MGAs will be added to the growing MIIS database of 40-plus MGAs that can be presented (by MIIS students) to government, consular, and customs officials on request.

Show Cause Notice under Customs Act 1962: Framework and Significance Adjudication is a quasi-judicial process which presupposes that a show cause notice (SCN) has been issued to a person. In fact, issuance of an SCN is mandatory under law. A number of judicial principles have now crystallised the legal position regarding the attributes of a valid SCN: A. The SCN must enumerate the list of reasons on which the SCN requires such a person to justify its actions and defend the charges/ claims made by the department. B. The SCN must not be vague and must give a proper opportunity to the concerned person to defend himself. C. The SCN must be accompanied by the details of information and evidence which are or would be relied upon by the customs officer during the adjudication proceedings. Non-supply of relied-upon documents ('RUDs') and other evidence can lead to setting aside of the proceedings as it amounts to violation of principles of natural justice. D. The SCN must be issued with an open mind and should not be cast in a manner that it appears that the decision has already been taken against the concerned person and the SCN is an empty formality. E. SCN is the foundation of the case of the Department and thus must be complete and comprehensively bring out the views of the Department. F. The SCN must be signed by an officer not below the rank of a AC/DC and spell a time limit to reply to the same to refute the allegations made. It is, however, noteworthy that the customs law permits issuance of a 'supplementary notice' (since 2019) In terms of the Regulations framed by the CBIC, a supplementary notice may be issued in any of the following circumstances: I. in case there is a difference in the quantum of duty demanded in such notice including the cases which may necessitate change in adjudicating authority; II. for invoking penal action under the provisions of the Act against a person/person in addition to those charged in such notice; III. for invoking additional section/ sections of the Act in such notice IV. in case there is any additional evidence that may have a significant bearing on the outcome of the case.

What is a custom union in the EU? Article 28 TFEU: The TFEU establishes a customs union that involves… a) ‘The prohibition between the Member States of customs duties on imports and exports and out of all charges having equivalent effect’ (Article 30 TFEU), and b) ‘The adoption of a common customs tariff in their relations with third countries’. In simple words, this means that EU member countries can import and export goods to other EU member countries without paying additional taxes.
