EU-India goes to the Council with importer's knowledge on one side only: what do Indian importers ask European suppliers for?Coming at this from one step further up the supplying side, because a fair share of what German makers sew starts as fabric from my side of the border. At a fair in Frankfurt a buyer once held up the movement certificate that came with our...

Section 23B wants the exporter's own declaration on file for five years: what do you do for cargo that shipped before 3 August?I sit at the exporting end in Izmir, where a July box would have left on a declaration lodged electronically in our customs system, BILGE. So I agree with you that the paper exists. The detour I would add is about what kind of copy travels...

The UK steel pre-contract exemption ends on 30 September: is the test the date of import, or the date of release?Femi, Claudia: steel is not my cargo.

A rule...

One paper says the goods are in free circulation inside the union. Another says where the yarn actually came...

Chilean fruit and the 12.5 percent surcharge: the press says avocados, the annex says subheadingsKnitwear out of Izmir into Europe, so I meet this from the other end. We sit inside a customs union rather than a free trade agreement, and even there the thing that decides duty is the subheading on the import declaration, never the...

A stamped EUR.1 stopped working in one corridor this month: what does a counter do with an unnumbered declaration?Renata is right and I was wrong, and I know how: what I had in front of me was a chamber's note to its own exporters, not the protocol. A chamber note tells you what to do. It does not tell you what the counter is entitled to open beside...
