This course considers customs decisions that require an application. In these cases, an economic operator is required customs permission to take certain action. Customs of course make other, autonomous decisions, on risk, enforcement, etc., which are not considered in this course. 

The authorisation management competency refers to all activities concerning the registration and management of authorisation processes. The activities are related to the registration as a legal trading entity, the application to become an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) as well as the overall management of all customs licences and certificates. We will consider the requirements and mechanisms of decisions and authorisations, with special focus on the AEO status/ AEO authorisation.

The course is one of the modules of the extensive Customs clearance and trade compliance in the EU training (see the brochure).

Lessons

The course consists of six lessons:

  1. Introduction to decisions and authorisations
  2. Getting ready 
  3. Applying
  4. Decision making
  5. Ongoing authorisations
  6. Authorised Economic Operator (AEO)

After watching the videos, please take the quiz. In addition, you can read articles of interest on the platform during the entire learning period (after purchasing the course, you will get access to the articles).

Outcome

On completing the course, a learner:

  1. Is able to manage the authorisation processes;
  2. Understands the criteria and processes to receive a licence or certificate to become a legal trading entity and to act under a specific customs authorisation;
  3. Has knowledge of the decision-making process and the scope of the validity of a decision (i.e. throughout the European Union);
  4. Understands and is able to communicate relevant detailed Economic Operator (EO) information to the customs authorities;
  5. Has knowledge of the legal framework covering the decisions and authorisations that may be granted;
  6. Understands the compliance processes and procedures attatching to authorisations;
  7. Understands the concept, objectives and benefits of AEO (AEOS, AEOC and combined);
  8. Is familiar with the procedure to apply for AEO authorisation.

Upon successful completion of the quiz (more than 60% of the questions must be answered correctly), you will receive a certificate of completion.

Time

Please plan to dedicate around 2 hours to complete this course.

All authorisations have requirements, and have conditions attached, which must be observed by the holder of the authorisation.

Anthony Buckley

Bear in mind that for all provisions to authorisations you may find further relevant rules in Title I UCC (or DA or IA), given that authorisations are at the same time ‘decisions’.

NOCA's Bulgarian Green Corridors project
03-09-2024

The rapid crossing of land borders for imported and exported goods (including for intra-EU movements)would help to take the operation of international supply chains to a new level. Timely delivery of goods is much more than a fulfilment of trade commitments in order to build fair and long-term business partnerships. The COVID-19 health crisis and the still-unfolding war in Ukraine serve as reminders that timely delivery of goods can be vital for people's lives and health. Furthermore, delays at borders resulting from a number of customs and non-customs checks are an administrative burden.

Top five challenges for European customs
28-08-2024

Someone recently asked me what are the current top challenges for customs in Europe. The article is an attempt to summarise the answer to this question. These are the five issues that, in my opinion, are likely to impact the customs industry in the upcoming months and years. Some are more across-the-board and some are a bit more niche and local. The article comes from the author’s personal experience of working in the industry and across the private and public sectors and is therefore a personal perspective. By no means an exhaustive list.

Importing chemicals: CJEU rules who bears the burden of administrative work
10-07-2024

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation is the EU’s main instrument to protect human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. The legislation places a registration obligation on the importer. However, the definitions of the importer and import under the REACH legislation do not align with the customs terminology. The article demonstrates what happens when discrepancies arise.

EU Customs Reform: What will change in the import process?
02-05-2024

This article continues the overview of certain aspects of the EU Customs Reform. In a previous article, the author described why and how the Commission intends to impose the obligations for importing goods on a single person, the importer in three variants: the regular importer, the deemed importer (for e-commerce) and the indirect customs representative representing both types of importers. In this article, the author focuses on the proposed import procedure, which consists of several consecutive steps.
