New findings are available to AEB (as of December 2025) for goods in HS chapters 1-24, for which no permeability may be applied. Individual main customs offices interpret the valuation regulations particularly strictly. Therefore, the software has been adapted to reflect this strict interpretation in the handling of stock goods in these chapters, in order to continue to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
As a result of the change, positive evaluations for goods of chapters 1-24 to which no permeability applies will be changed to negative by the agreement reform widget. This means that subsequently obtained proofs only lead to preference in the overall view after the set storage period has expired. When the widget is executed at the start of 2026, this logic will also be applied to past widget runs.
By comparison: Previously, proofs for goods in stock were only deactivated and not transferred. However, as soon as a follow-up proof including the corresponding goods receipt according to the new rules was available, preference could be regained. Also within the storage period. This procedure does not correspond to the strict interpretation of some main customs offices that has now become known. A change in the software is therefore necessary.
