Customs duty statute of limitations begins when payment obligation arises, not upon conditional release date.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court set aside the Lower Administrative Court's decision regarding customs duty collection. The Lower Court incorrectly calculated the two-year limitation period starting from the conditional release date. The Court ruled that the obligation to pay arises only if goods are not exported by the specified deadline. Consequently, the Lower Court failed to address the plaintiff's arguments and the case was remanded for reconsideration.
