Aprašymas

In Episode 1 "The future of customs brokers" of the monthly CKC Podcast, we concluded that harmonisation of the regulation of customs brokers is needed and also harmonisation of the competences of customs brokers.

One of the listeners pointed out that we did not discuss the question: "Is the customs broker really under threat?". We return to this question in this Episode 2 of the Podcast and discuss it in light of the upcoming changes, especially the EU Customs Reform.

Participants 

The participants in the discussion: Anthony Buckley (Chair of CKI, Ireland), Kevin Shakespeare (Director of Strategic Projects and International Development at the Institute of Export & International Trade, the UK), Dr Momchil Antov (Chairman of the Board of the National Organization of Customs Agents, Bulgaria) and Enrika Naujoke (director of Lithuanian Customs Practitioners Association, which is a member-observer at Confiad).

Discussion

Some of the provisions of the proposed new EU Customs Code discussed (version September 2023):

  • Article 27(1): An indirect customs representative acting in its own name but on behalf of an importer or an exporter shall be considered the importer or the exporter for the purposes of Articles 20 and 22, respectively.
  • Article 27(3): “A customs representative having the status of Trust and Check trader shall only be recognised as such when acting as indirect representative. When acting as a direct representative, the customs representative may be recognised as Trust and Check trader if the person in whose name and on whose behalf that representative is acting has been granted such status.”

Particpants noted that Trust & Check Trader (TCT) status will replace AEO status in the future. In effect, customs brokers will be pushed to act as indirect representatives and assume liability even for the fulfilment of non-customs requirements. In addition, one of the most important requirements for TCTs is to give customs direct access to the data - no more customs declarations, but direct access to company data. Participants also discussed AEO status in the EU and the UK, and the UK Trusted Trader schemes.

Customs brokers in Europe: Shaping and establishing a future-proof role
2024-01-28

Case law tells us how importing and exporting SMEs, which do not have in-house customs expertise, understand their role and responsibilities, as well as those of a customs broker. Often, when … a dispute arises with customs over penalties imposed on an importer or exporter for an offence, the company claims that it was confident that it had properly fulfilled its obligations by entrusting customs clearance to a professional service provider - the customs broker. The company therefore learns the hard way about its customs-related responsibilities and obligations. What role does the customs broker play in preventing such situations? In this article, we argue that customs brokers need to take on the role of proactive educator and suggest a way to do this.

Customs brokers and their management: current challenges and the future
2024-01-14

Customs brokers are an important part of the customs ecosystem. Both parties - traders and customs - can benefit greatly from working with these professional intermediaries. Customs brokers take … on the complex tasks related to customs clearance, protect and serve the interests of the parties involved while balancing their different needs (e.g. fast delivery vs. thorough control) and save them a lot of time so they can focus on their core activities. This topic is not new, and one might think that these areas of operation should already be established and standardised. However, discussions at the 19th Authors' Meeting showed that there are still more questions than answers in the countries of Europe and America.
