Art. 20 Threshold prices

1 The Fed­er­al Coun­cil may in­tro­duce threshold prices for in­di­vidu­al products. The terms of Art­icle 17 ap­ply.

2 The threshold price cor­res­ponds to the tar­get im­port price, com­pris­ing the price franco Swiss bor­der and cus­toms du­ties as well as charges with a sim­il­ar ef­fect.45 The Fed­er­al Coun­cil shall de­cide how the price franco Swiss bor­der, un­taxed, is cal­cu­lated.46

3 The Fed­er­al Coun­cil may set the threshold price for a group of products. The Fed­er­al De­part­ment of Eco­nom­ic Af­fairs, Edu­ca­tion and Re­search (EAER)47 shall set a guideline im­port value for in­di­vidu­al products.

4 The EAER shall de­cide to what ex­tent the sum of the cus­toms duty rate and price franco Swiss bor­der, un­taxed, may de­vi­ate from the threshold price be­fore the cus­toms duty rate has to be ad­jus­ted (band).48

5 The FO­AG49 shall set the cus­toms duty rate for products with a threshold price in such a way that the im­port price lies with­in the band.

6 In­so­far as the sale of sim­il­ar do­mest­ic products does not come un­der threat, the EAER may set the cus­toms duty rate lower than in­dic­ated in para­graph 5.

7 The cus­toms duty rates may not en­tail any ele­ments of pro­tec­tion vis-à-visin­dustry.50
