Inspection Control.

When products arrive at the European Union to be imported; they are inspected and checked by the customs authorities until a relevant customs procedure for these products is established. The products may be taken to be stored in a customs warehouse without payment of import duties or being re-exported. The responsible for taking the products through the customs is the carrier.

Summary Declaration

When products arrive at the European Union; they must be taken to the customs authorities for inspection. This is done by presenting a declaration, which contains all the necessary information for the product identification. Without the declaration, the products cannot be cleared (unless under an express authorization).

Single Administrative Document.

The Single Administrative Document (SAD) is the declaration form used in the European Union for declaring products for any of the Customs Procedures. The declaration must be made by the importer/exporter or the agent. The declaring must sign the Single Administrative Document.

Dumping is the practice of selling a product in a foreign market at an unfairly low price (a price which is lower than the cost in the home market, or lower than production cost) to gain a competitive advantage over other exporters. Dumping is considered an unfair trade practice under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the World Trade Organization agreements.

National governments regulate dumping through the imposition of anti-dumping duties.
