15It is settled case-law that any pecuniary charge, however small and whatever its designation and mode of application, which is imposed unilaterally on goods by reason of the fact that they cross a frontier, and which is not a customs duty in the strict sense, constitutes a charge having equivalent effect within the meaning of Articles 23 EC and 25 EC, even though such pecuniary charge is not levied for the benefit of the State (UCAL, paragraph 18; Case C-72/03 Carbonati Apuani [2004] ECR I-8027, paragraph 20; and Case C-293/02 Jersey Produce Marketing Organisation [2005] ECR I-9543, paragraph 55).
