A recent ruling by the Eastern High Court in Denmark determined that there is no obligation to pay import VAT on goods that evaded customs supervision upon entering the country from a Y2-country. This decision hinged on the fact that the goods, primarily a lifting frame for oil drilling equipment, were subsequently exported to a Y3-country and therefore were not integrated into the European Union’s economic cycle. The court referenced EU Court of Justice case C-26/18 (Federal Express) in concluding that since the goods were effectively exported from Y1-municipality in Y4-country to Y3-country, no import VAT could be levied under the Danish VAT Act section 12.
