“What is autonomous tariff suspensions actually all about?”

I was asked this question by a member of my LinkedIn network. I am therefore happy to address this topic: So-called autonomous tariff suspensions (ACS) can be requested by importers under certain conditions, especially when a certain product/technology is not produced by EU-based manufacturers. If such goods are subject to import duties, a duty suspension can be considered. Applications are reviewed twice a year, on 1 January and 1 July. There is an objection period for manufacturers based in the EU. These companies should check regularly whether such an application has been submitted for their finished products and, if necessary, initiate an objection procedure in order to avoid competitive disadvantages. A portal of the EU Commission which you can use to search for the customs tariff numbers relevant to you can be found below. I have also linked to explanations of the application procedure of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. Have you found your products? Portal of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds2/susp/susp_consultationchapter.jsp?Lang=de&buttonId=searchBtN&pubCycle=sus+2022-01&chapters=84&Expand=true&offset=0 Application procedure for autonomous tariff suspensions (AZZ): https://www.bmwi.de/Redaktion/DE/Artikel/Aussenwirtschaft/zollabwicklung-autonome-zollaussetzungen-zollkontingente-verfahren.html

New for 2022: new mandatory information in the export declaration

In the future, the ‘carrier’ must be specified in every export declaration with their EORI number (or alternatively TCUI number for carriers based in the third country). In Germany, this change will be introduced with the AES release 3.0, which is to be implemented as part of a soft migration by April 2023 at the latest. This is likely to pose a massive challenge for many exporters. In my opinion, the only practical solution is to separate the export declaration and the ASumA (the summary of exit display) and to submit the ASumA separately. The carrier is obliged to submit the ASumA before the goods actually leave. Since all ASumA data was already available when the ABD was created, the ASumA information could be transmitted together with the ABD by the exporter, which, to my knowledge, is almost always the case in Germany and makes a separate ASumA largely obsolete. The now necessary separation of ABD and ASumA is likely to lead to an unbearable burden on freight forwarders and logistics companies and to delays in exports.

Software and customs clearance?

Software and customs clearance? A colleague from my network asked me the following question, which I would like to address: "Is there anything that needs to be considered when software (especially without hardware) is delivered abroad? This question is interesting from two points of view: From a customs perspective, software does not constitute goods. No customs declaration is therefore required for the import and export of software, provided it is sent via the internet, cloud, download, etc. However, if the import/export takes place on hardware (DVD, EProm, control unit, laptop, etc.), a customs declaration is required for the hardware. It should be noted that the value of the software must be added to the value of the hardware. From an export control perspective, software is a technology whose export may well be subject to authorisation if the software is to be considered dual-use goods or is otherwise subject to country-specific sanctions. Caution is therefore advised here! So you can see that the topic of software is definitely relevant in the context of customs and foreign trade. Have you ever been in a similar situation? You are also welcome to write me a message.
