The General Directorate of Customs (DGA) established criteria values for imports of 22 types of car batteries, which includes updating prices that were already in force and incorporating new types of batteries that until now were not covered by the tool.
This is established by the General Resolution 5200/2022 published this Monday (06.06.2022) in the Official Gazette. The 22 goods affected, according to the Common Nomenclature of Mercosur, are electric accumulators and "includes the updating of values that were already in force and the incorporation of new types of batteries that until now were not covered by the tool used to avoid abusive maneuvers in foreign trade."
This Resolution arises from "risk assessment tasks" in which internal and external sources of information have been considered. The Customs analysis determined the average international prices of these inputs brought into the country. It will apply to merchandise originating in two large groups of countries. In South America, when these products are imported from Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Ecuador and Chile. In the case of purchases made from the Asian market, the new criteria values will apply to batteries from Korea, China, Philippines, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong.
Criterion values are one of the mechanisms, along with reference values for exports, with which Customs seeks to detect deviations from the usual values for identical or similar merchandise.
