- The CJEU’s Tauritus decision clarifies that retroactive price adjustments, including transfer pricing adjustments made after import, affect customs valuation and VAT liability for EU importers.
- Tauritus allows provisional pricing under the Union Customs Code (UCC) if adjustments are based on objective, pre-established criteria and simplified customs procedures are followed.
- The decision distinguishes Tauritus from the earlier Hamamatsu case, which restricted post-import adjustments under the previous Community Customs Code (CCC) due to lack of transparency and certainty.
- Companies must review and update their customs valuation practices and documentation to ensure compliance and avoid penalties or missed refunds.
