These increases are interim, pending a longer, more comprehensive review of Customs’ goods fees. These interim fee adjustments will reflect the rate of inflation since the fee levels were last agreed in 2019, maintaining the real value of the fees.
Customs consulted stakeholders on these increases in March and April 2023 and stakeholders’ submissions informed the Government’s decisions.
A Gazette Notice has been published notifying the changes.
