• Hauliers who feel unfairly treated by Customs officers over how goods are classified may get the chance to appeal to independent arbitrators.
Customs and Excise wants the industry to give it evidence that an independent appeal system is needed. At present if a haulier disagrees with a Customs ruling on the value of goods or availability of a particular duty relief he can complain to Customs or take the matter to court. Freight Transport Association international controller Dave Green supports the idea of an appeal system: "It will give industry more confidence if there is a dispute," he says.
