Jean-Philippe LACROIX: Head of customs for the PSA Peugeot-Citroën Group
INTRODUCTION
A company faced with customs formalities often adopts a passive attitude, either by refusing to carry out the operation, or by complying (without understanding) with the obligations laid down by the customs official, or by the intermediary he has previously appointed to carry out these customs operations (in France, the customs agent).
In reality, despite the constraints they entail, customs regulations and other international administrative rules are interesting tools for economic operators, provided they know how to use them. These rules provide companies with a degree of legal certainty when dealing with national administrations.
