Regulation 117 Transaction value: further excluded items – finance interestC1I1
The items referred to in regulation 108(8) as specified matters to be excluded as elements of a transaction value further include finance interest.
“Finance interest” means the interest charged under a relevant finance agreement which is attributable to the finance used to purchase the goods.
“Relevant finance agreement” means a written finance agreement between the buyer and seller of the goods entered into to enable the buyer to buy the goods and where—
the rate of interest payable under the finance agreement does not exceed that usually payable under similar agreements in the territory where the finance agreement was entered into; and
in cases where the buyer sells the goods within a period of 30 days beginning with the day after the date of F1discharge of the goods from the free-circulation procedure, they are sold at no less than the value declared in the Customs declaration.
The value of the finance interest is, if it can be readily determined, the amount of the interest.
