On March 18, post delivered the request, per reftel, to the

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,

Regional Court level. If the case involves the Customs

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.
