Reimbursement of import duties may be granted where it is established that, at the time of importation, the goods were defective or did not comply with the terms of the contract under which they were imported.
Tax refunds are subject to :
– either re-exportation of the goods to or on behalf of the foreign supplier ;
– or their destruction under the supervision of the customs department, with payment of the taxes relating to the residue of this destruction.
Orders issued by the Minister for the Economy and Finance set the conditions for the application of this article, and in particular the time limit within which the application for reimbursement must be submitted after the goods have been imported.
