Administrative (departmental) appeal
An administrative (departmental) appeal is the pre-trial procedure for challenging decisions, actions or omissions of a customs authority by filing a complaint with a higher customs authority within the set deadline.
It is a faster and free option compared with court. An administrative appeal can be used either on its own or before going to court in disputes over classification, value and payments.
We will prepare the complaint and the supporting arguments for your dispute with customs.
