Transaction-value requires accounting for bona fide credit notes; goods removed from EPZs into the customs territory attract import duties.
Customs valuation – transaction value (Method 1) – effect of post-import debit and credit notes on customs value under EACCMA and WTO Valuation Agreement. Export Processing Zones (EPZs) – removal to customs territory treated as import – duties payable under EACCMA and EAC Protocols; certificate of origin is evidence, not automatic exemption. Procedure – tribunal disregards late-filed submissions; apportionment of costs where relief is partly granted.

Tribunal taxed Part A of the bill at prescribed rates (Shs.1,947,000 inclusive VAT); Part B struck off for lack of particulars.
Taxation of costs – Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Regulations – rates for written submissions, attendances, drawing bills and extra copies (Rules 10 & 12). Costs follow the event but are discretionary – taxing officer’s balancing exercise (National Insurance Corporation v Pelican Air Services). Disbursements – must be particularised with dates and evidence per Rule 47; failure to do so warrants striking off.
