Special arrangements
LSpecial arrangements allow non-EU goods to be imported into the European Union (EU) under suspension of customs duties, VAT and trade policy measures, in order to store, use or process them before re-exporting them out of the EU or placing them on the EU market. Apart from transit, there are five special arrangements: temporary admission, end-use, customs warehousing, inward processing and outward processing.
-
Statistical value
As its name suggests, this is a statistical value used by European Customs. On import, it is the value of the goods on entry at the border of the importing country. For example, a product may be imported into Germany via the port of Antwerp in Belgium. The statistical value will be the value of the goods at the time of entry at the Belgian/German border. On export, the statistical value is that at the point of exit from the territory.
When a product is cleared directly at the customs office of entry of the importing country, the value and the statistical value may therefore be the same.
