Please be aware that such behaviour constitutes customs fraud. Customs fraud aimed at eluding customs duties, anti-dumping and/or anti-subsidy duties may consist of different practices. These can include declaring a lower value for the goods, declaring an incorrect country of origin or incorrect customs classification.

 

Circumventing AD or AS duties in order to elude their payment constitutes customs fraud!

 

Any EU company engaging in these practices is taking very serious risks. In order to avoid any negative consequences for your business, do not accept such proposals.

 

You are advised to immediately contact the relevant customs authorities of your country or the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) if you become aware of such practices.
