Simplified customs procedures
Topic description
General
The Customs Code allows simplification of formalities in the customs procedures. The simplifications mean special benefits for traders or holders of authorisations for simplified procedures respectively. They enable faster implementation of customs procedures and faster receiving goods by traders.
The competent authorities may:
- allow the use of incomplete customs declarations,
- grant the authorisation for the use of simplified procedure on import and export,
- grant the authorisation for local clearance on import and export,
- grant the authorisation for the authorised consignee status,
- grant the authorisation for the authorised consignor status.
