On May 8, 2014, the Caribbean Court of Justice (the Court) delivered its judgment in Rudisa Beverages v. Guyana, declaring certain provisions of the Customs Act of Guyana inconsistent with the free movement provisions in the Revised Treaty of Chaguarmas (RTC). According to the press release, the Court held that “Article 87 of the RTC imposed an absolute prohibition on import duties on goods of Community origin” and thus precluded the provisions of the Customs Act of Guyana that impose an environmental tax on all imported non-returnable beverage containers but not on those made by Guyanese producers. According to the executive summary, the Court rejected Guyana’s reliance on its “inability to pass the necessary legislative amendments,” holding that the “State was indivisible for the purposes of liability and had an overarching responsibility to honour treaty obligations.”
