When items enter a European country or a country that is a member of the European Free Trade Association, an imports declaration is required by law at the relevant imports customs office. Accordingly, taxes and duties are imposed, depending on the items at customs offices to ensure the items’ release.
Imports are important for the development of our national economy since not all countries have the resources and skills required in the production of certain goods as well as services. Meanwhile, countries impose trade restrictions, just as duties and import quotas, so as to protect its domestic industries.
