dossier COM(2023)255 - Amending Regulation 2021/2278 suspending the Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural and industrial products.
document COM(2023)255
date June 16, 2023
Annex contains 57 new products. The uncollected duties corresponding to these suspensions, calculated on the basis of requesting Member State projections for the period 2023 to 2027, amount to EUR 10 559 627 per year.

On the basis of the existing statistics for preceding years, it would appear, however, necessary to increase this amount by an average factor, estimated at 1,8 to take account of imports into other Member States using the same suspensions. This means uncollected duties of some EUR 19 007 329 per year.

23 products have been withdrawn from this Annex reflecting the reintroduction of customs duties. This represents an increase of EUR 287 314 per year in the collection of duties, as estimated on the basis of 2022 statistics.

On the basis of the above, the impact on the loss of revenue for the EU budget resulting from this Regulation is estimated at 19 007 329 – 287 314 = EUR 18 720 015 (gross amount, including collection costs) x 0,75 = EUR 14 040 011 per year.
