When a customs authority issues a decision – on tariff classification, assessed duties, or a required security deposit – an objection is the formal administrative remedy by which shippers, consignees, or freight forwarders challenge that decision directly with the issuing body. The procedure is generally free of charge, but filing deadlines are strict and run from the date of notification; the exact timeframe depends on national procedural law. Exhausting this remedy is typically a mandatory prerequisite before any further judicial appeal becomes available. Not to be confused with a claim against the carrier for loss, damage, or delay of a consignment.
