   Rules for the valuation of goods at customs

For importers, the process of estimating the value of a product at customs presents problems that can be just as serious as the actual duty rate charged. The WTO agreement on customs valuation aims for a fair, uniform and neutral system for the valuation of goods for customs purposes — a system that conforms to commercial realities, and which outlaws the use of arbitrary or fictitious customs values.

The agreement provides a set of valuation rules, expanding and giving greater precision to the provisions on customs valuation in the original GATT.

   Role of the CD/WTO

  • Analyzing the degree of Egypt's compliance in the area of customs valuation.
  • Analyzing trading partners' possible violations of the customs valuation agreement.
  • Creating public awareness through holding seminars on customs valuation in coordination with customs officials.
