- 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.
