- Import of goods in VAT refers to bringing goods from a non-EU country into the EU.
- Importers must calculate and declare VAT in the customs declaration and pay it within 10 days of notification by customs authorities.
- The tax base is the customs value plus customs duties, and for excise goods, also excise tax; additional costs like commission, packaging, transport, and insurance may be included.
- Special rules apply for certain customs procedures (e.g., passive/active processing, temporary admission).
- Customs authorities issue decisions to correct VAT amounts if errors are found in the customs declaration, both before and after goods are released.
