Dividends are not included in the customs value

The Arbitration Court of the Bryansk region agreed with the arguments of the declarant.

This is not the first time that TChK Law Office has successfully defended the interests of its clients in disputes with customs authorities.

The Administrative Court of the Bryansk region on 10/21/2024 considered at a court hearing a case on the application of SCHOTT PHARMACEUTICAL PACKAGING LLC (hereinafter referred to as the Company) to the Bryansk Customs on the recognition of illegal decisions of the customs authority. Case №A09-1177/2024

The essence of the dispute is to recognize as illegal decisions to amend information in declarations on goods - on the inclusion of dividends in the customs value. During the inspection, the customs authority considered that during the customs declaration of goods, the dividends received by the declarant's shareholders for 2020 were not included in the customs value.

The Court of First Instance also took into account the materials of Case №A43-49692/2019 of the dispute between the applicant and another territorial customs authority, where the interests of the declarant were also represented by lawyers of TChK.

As a result, the court declared illegal the decisions of the Bryansk Customs on making changes to the information stated in the declarations on goods in terms of dividends.

It should be noted that this case is the first positive decision in the Russian Federation not to include dividends in the customs value.
