Dogana Facile promotes several facilitating institutions dedicated to exporting companies: Customs clearance at the approved location; Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) authorisation and Authorised Exporter status.
Customs clearance at approved location
With this authorisation, the company can export and import its products without having to go through customs, replacing them by self-certifying the information relating to the exported or imported goods. The goods then leave and arrive already cleared through customs directly from the company's warehouses, free of all customs formalities. The company that activates the local clearance procedure enjoys a number of advantages, including:
- elimination of waiting time for goods in Customs
- significant reduction in transaction costs
- real-time receipt of the "exit visa" for exports from the customs office of exit from the European Union
- deferment of the payment of customs duties (duty and VAT) by an average of thirty days
Customs clearance at the approved location can be activated with a representative contribution for member companies thanks to and through ASA which assists in all dealings with the Customs Agency by producing Customs declarations and sending them directly electronically on behalf of the company.
Authorized Economic Operator (OEA)
The Authorized Economic Operator certification allows to speed up Customs procedures and simplify controls in all international trades. Obtaining this status allows economic operators to qualify as "reliable" subjects both with respect to the other operators in the chain and with respect to European and non-European Customs Authorities. The status allows the application of appreciable simplifications in Customs matters and security controls for all goods arriving at and leaving the company. The main advantages of AEO are:
- preferential channels for customs clearance
- Radical simplification in obtaining any customs authorisation
- up to 95% fewer physical and documentary checks by Customs
- Prior notification of all customs controls
- alleviation and elimination of security checks by third countries.
Status of Approved Exporter
Approved exporter is a person who can make "statements of preferential origin" - generally invoice declarations - which replace the normal EUR 1 certificate in trade with countries that allow this facility. The Authorisation is issued by the competent Customs Office and allows the company holding it to benefit from reduced or zero duty.
Easyfrontier's experts are available to discuss all the technical aspects with you in a personalised, free meeting at your company.
