Amendment to the Communiqué on Import Surveillance (Communiqué No: 2024/2)

1) What changed compared to the previous version (table-to-table comparison)

Based strictly on the old and new tables you provided, there is no numerical or scope change in the surveillance thresholds and product definitions:

• The same tariff lines remain covered (3920.10; 3920.20.21.00.11; 3920.20.21.00.19; 3920.62.19.00.00; 3920.69.00.00.00; 3921.19; 3921.90.10.00.00).
• The unit customs value thresholds are identical:
• Measurement basis is unchanged: USD/kg, gross weight (“*Kg: Brüt ağırlık”).

Conclusion (from the text you shared): This amendment functions as a table re-issuance / confirmation, not a substantive revision of thresholds or covered items.

2) Entry into force and timeline implication

The amendment states it enters into force on the 30th day following publication, which corresponds to 30.01.2026 (also consistent with the practical note you included).

Operationally: firms should treat 30 January 2026 as the point when the stated thresholds are applied in practice for surveillance purposes.

3) What this means for companies (practical impact)

Even though the numbers did not change in your comparison, companies importing plastic films/sheets under these headings should expect the same control logic to continue:

• Imports below the relevant unit customs value threshold (USD/kg gross) are within the scope where a Surveillance Certificate is required under Article 2 (searched at declaration registration).
• The “only …” qualifiers matter a lot (especially BOPET film and PET-G shrink film carve-outs). Misalignment between:

4) Recommended actions (importer checklist)

1. Confirm product identity and correct scope line
2. Run a pre-shipment unit value check
3. Align commercial docs with the scope wording
4. Plan surveillance certificate workflow early
