Contentious submission in Algerian customs law

Abstract

Contentious submission in Algerian customs law is an option available to perpetrators of customs violations, allowing them to acknowledge the violation and accept the customs decision issued by the Customs Administration without having to resort to the judiciary. This is done by settling the dispute amicably by paying fines or fees imposed for the violation. This measure aims to speed up customs procedures and reduce the burden on the courts, as violators can settle matters quickly without waiting for a judicial ruling. However, the violator still has the right to resort to the judiciary in the event of dissatisfaction with the settlement.
