On October 23, 2014 the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled in Case C-437/13, Unitrading Ltd versus Staatssecretaris van Financiën (ECLI:EU:C:2014:2318).

The following questions were referred to the ECJ for a preliminary ruling: 

  1. Do the rights enshrined in Article 47 of the Charter … mean that if customs authorities, in the context of the submission of evidence as to the origin of imported goods, intend to rely on the results of an examination carried out by a third party with regard to which that third party does not disclose further information either to the customs authorities or to the declarant, as a result of which it is made difficult or impossible for the defence to verify or disprove the correctness of the conclusion arrived at and the court is hampered in its task of evaluating the results of the examination, those examination results may not be taken into account by the court? Does it make any difference to the answer to that question that that third party withholds the information concerned from the customs authorities and from the party concerned on the ground, not further explained, that “law enforcement sensitive information” is involved?
