What are overpaid customs duties?

Customs overpayments are amounts that were incorrectly or unjustifiably collected during customs clearance of goods. This can be the result of:

  • incorrect determination of the product code;

  • errors in customs value calculations;

  • technical failures in the work of customs authorities;

  • applying incorrect rates or charging VAT incorrectly.

You have the right to refund of overpaid amounts from the state budget, and this right is enshrined in the Customs Code of Ukraine.

When should I apply for a customs refund?

  • If a customs broker or official made a mistake in the calculations

  • If the goods turned out to be exempt from taxation

  • If the decision on the classification of the product has been changed

  • After canceling or correcting a customs declaration

Application deadline — 1095 days (3 years) from the date of the overpayment. If you miss this deadline, it will be more difficult to return the funds.
