- Juno Sourcing Ltd appealed against HMRC’s demand for over £1.3 million in customs duty and import VAT on PPE imports.
- The main issue was whether the PPE qualified for disaster relief or remission under EU and UK customs rules.
- The FTT dismissed the appeal, finding the goods were not imported by or delivered to an approved organisation like the NHS.
- Relief cannot be granted based on intended use; actual delivery to an approved organisation must be proven.
- The case underscores the importance of documentation and proof of delivery for importers seeking customs relief.
