09:00: Registration
09:30 – 10:00: Opening remarks
10:00 – 11:15: Enforcement of IP rights on imported goods Regulation (EU) 608/2013 sets the legal framework for IP border enforcement, imposing controls on suspected counterfeit products, which are either imported or in transit. The panel will discuss the challenges that customs authorities are experiencing, the issue of goods in transit and the current trends. The conversation will focus on e-commerce platforms and their extent of compliance and engagement in anti-counterfeiting and will extend also to customs controls on postal parcels, which are associated with e-commerce sales.
11:15 – 12:30: Regulatory compliance of imported goods – toys, chemical products, etc. and customs controls. Goods imported into the EU are subject to the same regulatory requirements as goods made in the EU, such as the registration of chemicals (REACH), marking and labelling, Toy safety, etc.  Importers are responsible for ensuring that the goods they place on the EU market comply with all applicable rules. Customs authorities are in charge of enforcing those rules. Our panels, composed of customs officials, operators, and customs lawyers, will discuss the issues commonly associated with regulatory compliance of imported goods sold through e-commerce.
12:30 – 13:00: Coffee break
13:00 – 14:30: Importation of low quality goods through e-commerce: customs proceedings OLAF investigations and customs value Many goods imported through e-commerce platform are low quality goods, made in countries where labour is cheap.  Under pressure from the European anti-fraud office OLAF and the European Commission, the customs authorities are increasingly rejecting the value declared for these imports, and use instead the (often much higher) average value for all goods classifiable under the same tariff position.
14:30: Networking Lunch
