Analysis of Customs Offenses

Iako špedicija u doslovnom prijevodu znači „odriješiti“ u praksi se prevodi kao „otpremiti“ ili „otposlati“. Tako špediter koji može biti fizička ili pravna osoba obavlja poslove organizacije prijevoza robe, carinskog zastupanja prilikom uvoza odnosno izvoza robe. Carina u svom općem značenju obuhvaća vrstu poreza ili naknade za uvoz ili izvoz robe iz inozemstva te način očuvanja domaće proizvodnje i dobara od stranih konkurencija. Carinskim zakonom uređuju se prava i obveze osoba te carinske službe u vezi s kretanjem robe i putnika između Hrvatske i inozemstva. Prekršaji su jedina djela carinsko-kaznene odgovornosti koja su opisana u carinskom zakonu. Kod svakog prekršaja, pa tako i carinskog, važno je da svaka kazna bude primjerena počinjenom dijelu kako bi svaka osoba, bilo fizička ili pravna, mogla odgovarati za isto.Although literally translated into Croatian freight forwarding means "releasing", it is usually translated as "dispatching" or "shipment". A freight forwarder, either a natural person or a legal entity, organises transport of goods and performs custom representation activities during import or export of goods. In general terms, customs means duty or fee for importing or exporting of goods from foreign countries, and represents a way of protecting domestic production and goods from foreign competition. The Customs Act lays down the rights and obligations of persons and customs services in the context of movement of goods and passengers between Croatia and foreign countries. Minor offences are the only acts regarding customs and criminal responsibility described in the Customs Act. It is important that every penalty for minor offences, including custom offences, be adequate to the committed act, so that any natural person or legal entity can take responsibility for the act committed
