CRITERIA REFERRED TO IN ARTICLES 380 AND 381

Criterion Observations
1. Sufficient experience

Proof of sufficient experience is provided by the correct use of the Community transit procedure, in the capacity of principal, over one of the following periods, prior to requesting a reduction:

  • one year, for the application of Article 380(2)(a) and Article 381(1),

  • two years for the application of Article 380(2)(b) and Article 381(2)(a),

  • three years for the application of Article 380(3) and Article 381(2)(b).

These periods shall be reduced by one year for applicants who use data-processing methods for lodging transit declarations.

2. High level of cooperation with the customs authorities

A principal achieves a high level of cooperation with the customs authorities by incorporating in the management of his operations specific measures which thereby make it easier for the authorities to carry out checks and protect the interests involved.

Providing they satisfy the customs authorities, such measures may relate to, inter alia :

  • particular methods of completing transit declarations (in particular the use of data processing methods), or

  • the content of such declarations, with the principal providing additional information, even where this is not mandatory, or

  • methods of completing the formalities for placing goods under the procedure (for example the principal always presenting his declarations at the same customs office).

3. Being in command of transport operations

The principal demonstrates that he is in command of transport operations, inter alia :

(a)

by carrying out the transport operation himself and applying high standards of security, or

(b)

using a carrier with whom he has had long-standing contractual relations and who provides a service which meets high standards of security, or

(c)

using an intermediary contractually bound to a carrier who provides a service which meets high standards of security.

4. Sufficient financial resources to cover obligations The principal demonstrates that he has the financial resources to cover his obligations by providing the customs authorities with evidence to show that he has the means to pay the customs debt likely to be incurred in connection with the goods concerned.]
