Customs appeal

Also called: review · itiraz

The right to challenge a customs decision, first through an administrative review by customs and then before a court or tribunal. In Türkiye objections go to the higher customs authority before the administrative courts, and in the US protests are filed with CBP before the Court of International Trade.

In practice

Strict deadlines apply to appeals, so classification or valuation disputes must be escalated promptly.
