New Nomenclature Tariff In Effect

January 1 saw the coming into force of a new nomenclature, which extends Tariff System Codes to 10 digits.

Wednesday, January 4, 2017

The implementation of the Sixth Amendment to the nomenclature of the Tariff Description and Coding System (SAC by its initials in Spanish) and the extension to more digits of codes for goods that are exported and imported was approved by the World Customs Organization (WCO) on June 27, 2014 in order to maintain, in terms of tariff nomenclature, a common language which facilitates international exchange.

In the case of Panama, the National Customs Authority explained that "...pre-declarations processed up until December 31, 2016, having permits, stamps and signatures from the Consenting Bodies, will be able to process the final declaration using the same tariff code up until January 15, 2017."

".. Procedures in a state of pre-declaration that do not require permission from a Consenting Body, must proceed to a final statement before January 1, 2017. Otherwise they must create a new pre-declaration using the new structure of the National Import Tariff."
