The Dutch Supreme Court has confirmed that a TMC receiver cannot be classified as a portable receiver for personal messaging under GN code 8517 69 31. This decision stems from a case where X BV paid 9.3% import duties on TMC receivers under GN code 8517 69 39 for 152 declarations, but later sought a refund in 2016, arguing the products should have been classified under GN code 8517 69 31, which carries a zero-duty rate.
