Slovak News - September 97 - Import Surcharge

The Ministry of Finance issued guidance in "Finaneny spravodaj" to unify the procedures when applying for a delay in the payment of the import surcharge, or apply for exemption.

The regulation defines the requirements for such an application and the steps to be completed in order to obtain the exemption.

A spokesman of the Ministry of Finance, Jozef Mach, advised that applications for exemption from the import surcharge would be considered individually, based on both the nature of the imported goods and also on the export power of the company importing commodities to Slovakia.
