Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

The office responded that the process for appealing decisions by the Slovak Customs Authority is subject to the Law on Administrative Action No 71/1967 of the Collection of Laws, Chapter 4 on Appellate Review, Section 1, Appellate Procedure; and the Law on the Civil Court No 99/1963 of the Collection of Laws, Chapter 5 on Administrative Justice.

The next available forum for appeal is at the Regional Court level. If the case involves the Customs Directorate, the relevant court would be the Supreme Court. The applicable laws will be sent via e-mail to USTR addressees as requested in reftel. Post regrets that both the laws are only available in the Slovak language. THAYER NNNN
