The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the Supreme Administrative Court's decision regarding customs duties on used film copies. The importer had underdeclared license fees paid to a third-party copyright holder, arguing these fees were not a condition of the sale from the film copy seller. The court ruled that Article 25(1)(4) of the Customs Act applies whenever the buyer is obligated to pay such fees as a condition of acquiring the copies, regardless of whether the seller holds the copyright.
