Community goods and non-Community goods
Terminology:
• Import of Community Goods: entry in the Community for VAT purposes of goods which for custom purposes are already released for free circulation – proceed from third party Community territories. Ex. Goods coming from Canary Islands are Community goods but they have to be imported from the VAT point of view in the Community.
• Import of non-Community goods: introduction of goods in the Community, for VAT purposes, which for custom purposes are not released for free circulation - (according to custom legislation)- proceed from third party states
![Page 9: Import of goods](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56814424550346895db0c0bb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Suspensive Arrangements
• In some cases, goods are physically introduced in the Community, they are not released for free circulation, but placed under custom suspension regimes.
• In such cases, although theoretically an import of goods takes place, it is considered that the place of import is in the MS in which the goods will be withdrawn from the suspension regime and released for free circulation.
• The VAT due to the import will be owed when the goods will cease to be placed in the respective regime (excepting the case when another dispense for VAT can be applied for that import).
