The case involved the deliberate undervaluation of the customs value of a high-speed Cigarette boat. Imported by a French company based near Bordeaux in July 2019, the vessel’s true value – USD 745,784 (approximately €686 000) – was concealed through false information and inaccurate documents.

Consumers and businesses should be able to opt for European digital payment instruments that can be used to pay anywhere in Europe. This is why Europe is promoting more European payment instruments such as:

      • Wero, the new European payment solution to be introduced in the Netherlands from 2026.
      • The digital euro, a reliable digital alternative to cash that can be used both online and offline.
