This shall apply to transactions with other Member States of the European Union and with the Contracting Parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area only to the extent that controls are carried out by the customs authorities.
(2) The seizure shall be carried out by the customs authority. The customs authority shall also order the measures necessary to eliminate the unlawful marking.
(3) If the orders of the customs authority are not complied with, or if the elimination is impracticable, the customs authority shall order the confiscation of the goods.
(4) Seizure and confiscation may be contested using the appellate remedies admissible in respect of seizure and confiscation in regulatory fining proceedings in accordance with the Act on Regulatory Offences. An immediate appeal may be filed from a local court decision. The higher regional court shall decide on the immediate appeal.
