"Once again, the diversity of application of a given standard - highlights Confapi Transportation - creates distortion of traffic so that certain traffic is going to insist first on a given territory now moving on to another, where the interpretation of 'customs office on the subject is more attentive to the needs of the market. "
For its part Confapi Transportation offers its own explanation: "Our interpretation of the synthesis - the vice president of the association, Mark Tarica - is that the security deposit that comes on the import goods (SAD - customs procedure: 45) is presented importer or by a third party in accordance with article .189 of the Community Customs Code, and therefore can also be identified by the depositary, which necessarily will have to load some obligations. The latter - Tarica precise - it is suggested to require the importer, in advance, the Chamber of Commerce certificate stating the date of activity not less than one year from the deposit and withdrawal: self-invoice, VAT registration page sales, which shows the actual recording dell'autofattura. All to be received by fax or e-mail so that it is clear traceability. This documentation will enable the depositary to release the guarantee. "
Transportation Confapi also stresses that it is clear what is meant by "proof of the regularity of VAT payments" by the importer, if referring to the annual or periodic statements.
"Surely - Tarica ends - there will still be discussed on the subject as just as surely all these requirements will create additional costs for importers and then pour on the final consumer products."
