Chapter: Part 2, B. II. 4. 1.
Suggested solution:
In the Van Gend en Loos case, a Dutch company complained about the fact that the Netherlands had in effect raised the customs duties due for a product imported by the company into the Netherlands. Under the present law, the relevant provision would be Art. 30 TFEU. It contains an absolute prohibition of customs duties. Accordingly, the outcome would be that the Netherlands would not be allowed to impose any such duties.
