Any challenge to the claim must be addressed to the authority that issued the assessment notice within three years of its notification, without prejudice to the time limits for remission of duties set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code.
The Regional Director of Customs will rule on the dispute within six months of receipt. In the case of an application for remission based on the Community Customs Code and falling within the remit of the Commission of the European Communities, this period begins on the day the customs administration is notified of the Commission’s decision.
