Local Clearance for Exports

Companies holding the local clearance for exports status can send their shipments without

visiting a Customs office. On the contrary, their Customs transactions and controls are

completed at their own facilities (Figure 4.4). Moreover, each facility of the company that

satisfies the selection criteria can use this facilitation. In order to apply for this status, the

company should hold the AEO status and have a minimum amount of 5 million US Dollars of

annual exportation.

Authorized Consignor

The authorized consignor status holders are the shipping companies that are allowed to transit

their clients’ shipments at their own premises without visiting a Customs office (Figure 4.5). In

order to obtain this status, the shipping company should hold the AEO status and have

completed a minimum of 500 transit declarations in the previous year.

Authorized Consignee

The authorized consignee status holders are the shipping companies that are allowed to

complete Customs transit transactions for imports at their own facilities or at the facilities of

companies that hold the right of local clearance (Figure 4.6). Companies holding an AEO

certificate with a minimum of 500 transit declarations in the previous year and have provided

a guarantee of one million Euros to the Ministry may apply for this right.
