Mistakes in a customs declaration can have serious consequences for the company and the person responsible. Although the Trade Facilitation Agreement contains some provisions in this regard and the WCO has developed a Voluntary Compliance Framework, the rules for dealing with mistakes in customs declarations are hardly harmonised even in the EU Member States. In many countries, this important issue – the efficient handling of mistakes in customs declarations – has still not received the attention it deserves from the regulatory authorities. So, what happens if you make a mistake in a customs declaration in different countries?
