Tullimenettelyllä

Tullimenettelyllä refers to the set of procedures and regulations governing the movement of goods across national borders. It encompasses the actions taken by customs authorities to ensure compliance with import and export laws, collect duties and taxes, and facilitate legitimate trade. This process typically involves the submission of declarations by the importer or exporter, which detail the nature, origin, quantity, and value of the goods. Customs officials then examine these declarations and, if necessary, the goods themselves, to verify their accuracy and ensure they meet all legal requirements.

Key aspects of tullimenettelyllä include customs valuation, which determines the taxable value of imported goods, and tariff classification, which assigns a specific code to each item based on its type. Duties and taxes, such as value-added tax (VAT) and excise duties, are then calculated and collected based on these classifications and valuations. Depending on the type of goods and the countries involved, various customs procedures may apply, including standard clearance, simplified procedures, or transit procedures. Effective tullimenettelyllä is crucial for governments to manage trade, protect domestic industries, and ensure national security, while also aiming to streamline trade for businesses.
