customs valuation

Tariff basis determination

Customs valuation is the process of determining the monetary worth of imported goods for calculating duties and tariffs.

Customs authorities assess value based on transaction price, comparable goods, or other methods when the declared value seems questionable: The shipment was delayed pending customs valuation.

The process prevents underreporting to evade import taxes.
