Using outdated tariff schedules or failing to update according to new Decrees/Circulars may lead to:

• Incorrect tax declaration: Resulting in tax arrears or late payment penalties.
• Missed tax incentives: Failure to take advantage of 0% or reduced tax rates under AJCEP and VJEPA.
• Customs clearance issues: Goods under chemical lists or Group 2 may be held for inspection if not properly declared under specialized policies.
