Transit procedure

A transit procedure is a procedure that enables the transfer of goods through customs areas without having to pay import taxes.

• can be shipped on the basis of simplifications (PP).

Direct and indirect representation in customs procedures: EU Regulation no. 952/2013 dated 9 October 2013 regarding the customs code of the EU states in Article 18 that anyone may name a representative who carries out duties and formalities in accordance with the customs regulations. Such a representation can be direct or indirect.

Clients may feely manage their mutual relationships. The representative may, if the clients wish, transfer their authorisation to another person. Regardless of the civil legal relationship between clients, the representation of the importer (recipient in box 8 of the EUL) in customs procedure before customs authorities is performed by a direct or indirect customs representative.
