Customs Preference Denied Due to Incorrectly Dated Declarations of Origin; Appeal Rejected

• In 2021, the taxpayer imported goods duty-free under preferential treatment.
• Customs authorities later denied the preference due to incorrectly dated or undeterminable dates on origin declarations.
• Some invoices were pre-dated after the import assessment.
• The date is a crucial formal requirement, not a minor defect.
• The taxpayer’s appeal was rejected; no entitlement to preference.
