On May 23, 2007, Damon Pike addressed the second joint meeting of the OECD and the World Customs Organization in Brussels, Belgium on the topic of transfer pricing and customs valuation. Mr. Pike encouraged greater coordination between the Customs and tax authorities in using transfer pricing methodologies and principles to support �transaction values� for customs purposes. He recommended greater use of the customs binding rulings procedures by importers, especially if the importer/taxpayer is contemplating or filing an Advance Pricing Agreement for income tax purposes. Case-by-case rulings by the Customs authorities will achieve progress on this issue and facilitate incremental changes in government policy, Mr. Pike said, given that any amendments to the WTO Valuation Agreement in this area would require a sustained global effort for which there is currently no political appetite.
