إعادة إدارة الجمارك التثمين بعد سداد الرسوم والإفراج عن البضاعة. لا يجوز ولها تدارك أي خطأ أو سهو في تقدير الرسوم. علة ذلك. أنه لا يعتبر من جانبها خطأ في حق المستورد يمكن أن يتذرع به للفكاك من الرسوم المستحقة. شرطه. ألا يكون الحق قد سقط بالتقادم وقت المطالبة. مخالفة الحكم ذلك. خطأ في تطبيق القانون ُيوجب تمييزه.(¿)
