Last Updated: Mar 7, 2026
URA increased the customs value above my supplier invoice and now the duty is much higher. I have payment records, packing list, and the contract—what is the proper objection process and timeline, and can the goods be released while I appeal?

In summary, the proper objection process requires one to file a Notice of Objection with URA within 45 days of the valuation decision. URA then must issue an objection decision within 90 days. If dissatisfied, you appeal to the Tax Appeals Tribunal within 30 days. The goods can usually be released by paying the duty under protest or providing security while the dispute continues and refund can be made if the Judgement is in your favor. Do not hesitant to reach out.
