One market at a time
On our floor the boards are mounted, soldered and tested here. The housings and some modules arrive finished. That is the honest shape of the work, and the origin file I write says it in that order. Two things this autumn make me think the...
Forgive a note from the Indian side, which has been quiet on this board. On 9 September our customs board issued Instruction No. 15/2026-Customs, and I would value a second reading of it. The occasion was plain: EPR registration...
India shortened the window for bringing export proceeds home on 1 October: nine months from the shipping date where it was fifteen, twelve where the invoice is in rupees. That is a money rule. The caution list is where it reaches my desk....
A box for Kampala leaves here with an electronic seal on it. The entry is lodged, the truck is called, it goes to the arming bay, the seal is fitted and switched on, and a monitoring centre follows it up the corridor until somebody at the...
Nothing dramatic happened at this port. A queue got longer, which is usually how it starts. In order, then. From 3 August our revenue authority opened a pre-arrival platform. Before loading, the exporter uploads a draft bill of lading, a...
Strictly speaking, the UK steel measure stopped being a safeguard on 1 July. The safeguard duty lapsed with June, and the 50 percent is now the standard rate on the listed products, so relief for old orders lives in a tariff regulation....
Still turning this one over between two files, so kindly tell me where I have read it wrong. Two consignments of roasted areca nut splits arrived on 28 March. FSSAI gave its no objection certificate on 10 April. CRCL then reported moisture...
Most of what leaves my cold store for Australia is dairy, so certificate wording is my week. The first stage of Australia's dairy review closed on 31 August. A permit issued before that date carries the old conditions and the reviewed ones...
Strictly speaking, nobody verifies an importer. Under the carbon border mechanism the verification attaches to the emissions data of the third country installation, and the authorised declarant only carries the consequence. That...
Code 34 has been the reflex for five years. Exporter signs a declaration on the invoice, CETA rules, EU content stopped counting in 2024. Code 35 is a different animal. CPTPP rules, and the importer can certify it. Japanese content counts....
Reading this with the tea going cold, so tell me if I have the wrong end of it. The new Union Customs Code was adopted on 16 September and went into the Official Journal on 19 September, as Regulation (EU) 2026/2108. Most of it is years...
We mount motors, speakers and small sensors. We do not make the magnets inside them, and nothing on my bill of materials tells me what a magnet is made of or what that material is worth. That is the problem sitting on my desk. One of the...
