Customs disputes

• Customs value

  Customs valued the car above invoice (catalogue price) — appeal with real-value proof: invoice, payment, auction history.

• Tariff code

  Wrong code = different rate. Classification decisions can be appealed administratively or in court.

• Deadline fines

  Transit/temporary-import overdue fines can be reduced in court given objective reasons.

• Where to appeal

  Admin complaint to a higher-level customs → admin court. Deadlines: 10 days for complaint, 6 months for court.

Keep all documents: invoices, payments, broker correspondence. Catalogue value isn't final — the real contract price prevails if payment-confirmed. A customs lawyer pays off from 50k UAH stakes.
