The draft implementing provisions of the Modernised Customs Code (MCCIP) propose removing the option for businesses to use "First Sale" planning to reduce the amount of customs duty paid when imported goods are subject to a number of sales before import. The business community is lobbying hard against the removal of this valuable trade facilitation measure.
