Article 345 of the French Customs Code

Debts of all kinds established and recovered by the customs administration are the subject of a notice of recovery subject, if necessary, to referral to the judicial judge.

The collection notice is issued and made enforceable by the administrative authority designated by decree, in accordance with the procedures set out in articles L. 212-1 and L. 212-2 of the Code des relations entre le public et l’administration.

The notice of assessment indicates the event giving rise to the debt as well as its nature, amount and the details of its settlement. A copy is sent to the debtor.

The appeals provided for in articles 346 and 347 do not suspend the execution of the collection notice.

Article 345

Les créances de toute nature constatées et recouvrées par l’administration des douanes font l’objet d’un avis de mise en recouvrement sous réserve, le cas échéant, de la saisine du juge judiciaire.

L’avis de mise en recouvrement est émis et rendu exécutoire par l’autorité administrative désignée par décret, selon les modalités prévues aux articles L. 212-1 et L. 212-2 du code des relations entre le public et l’administration.

L’avis de mise en recouvrement indique le fait générateur de la créance ainsi que sa nature, son montant et les éléments de sa liquidation. Une copie est notifiée au redevable.

Les recours prévus aux articles 346 et 347 ne suspendent pas l’exécution de l’avis de mise en recouvrement.
