This course provides understanding and ability for customs specialists to execute activities related to the special procedures in the EU, with the exception of the transit procedure. Patrick Nieveler: 'The complexity of global supply chains is increasing in each economic sector. Therefore, it is important for businesses to use duty suspension regimes with effective tools and automated processes.' 

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 seven lessons:

  1. Overview of special procedures
  2. Placing goods under a special procedure
  3. Inward processing
  4. Storage
  5. Outward processing
  6. End-use
  7. Temporary admission

In the resources section you will find slides and recommended reading. 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).

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

Outcome

After taking this course, the learner shall:

  • Demonstrate awareness and knowledge about different types of special procedures;
  • Demonstrate in-depth knowledge and understanding of the steps and tasks associated to successfully placing goods under a special procedure.

Time

Please plan to dedicate around 3 hours for learning.

The UCC offers the option to combine various special procedures. For example, companies using OP (outward processing) are not always clearing OP goods directly into free circulation but into a bonded warehouse.

Patrick Nieveler

Knowledge of customs procedures can lead to significant benefits, while the opposite can often be a waste of time and money.

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.
