- The European Court of Justice (ECJ) issued two rulings (C-500/24 and C-348/24) on the concept of “sale for export” in customs valuation law, involving successive sales under customs warehousing procedures.
- In case C-500/24 (Massimo Dutti), the ECJ decided that the relevant sale for customs value is the second sale (from ITX to Massimo Dutti), not the first sale (from Asian manufacturers to ITX).
- The court reasoned that the first sale did not definitively determine the goods’ destination as the EU, as the final marketing location was not fixed at that time.
- The ECJ clarified that the transaction value must reflect a price for export to the EU, and the goods’ destination must be established at the time of sale.
- These rulings, though based on previous customs law, remain partly relevant under current regulations.
