An importer receives an assessment notice for charges once the customs authority has completed its examination – a formal administrative decision that legally fixes the amount of customs duties, import taxes, and other levies owed. The notice states the calculation basis: customs value, tariff heading, and the rates applied. It also specifies the payment due date and the available legal remedies, including the deadlines for lodging objections or appeals. Without this document, the importer has no concrete legal footing to challenge the determination or claim a refund. A final assessment notice left unchallenged within the prescribed time limit becomes binding and can no longer be contested through ordinary proceedings.
