Last year, importer who brought tuna loin value more than USD 3, 00 per kilo sought to our firm.
However, Odesa Customs didn’t agree with this value and establish the value USD 6.3 making a decision to adjust the customs value. This led to customs overpayments of clients in the amount of UAH 187,600.
Our customs attorneys proved the illegality of the decision to adjust the customs value and resolved the dispute in client’s favor.
Odessa Circuit Administrative Court accepted our arguments and satisfied the claim and charged misappropriation of legal assistance.
The case was transferred to the Court of Appeals where decision of the trial court was declared lawful and justified.
Odesa Customs filed a cassation appeal, but couldn’t provide any grounds for opening cassation proceedings.
This victory is an important step for our attorneys in protecting client’s rights of in complex customs cases.
