In contrast to the remaining public tributes, customs duties are the domain of Community law. Consequently, effective support in the field of customs clearance requires not only knowledge of regulations and their interpretation by the Polish customs administration, but above all knowledge about the practice of their application by customs authorities of other Member States. These issues can have a significant impact on business decisions regarding, for example, the place of customs clearance, the location of a logistics center or a production plant. Their knowledge can also be an important success factor in the event of a dispute with Polish customs authorities.
