Authorized exporter
What is an authorized exporter?
Being an authorized exporter is a fundamental requirement for those involved in foreign trade. Obtaining the status of an authorized exporter provides significant advantages at various levels.
Firstly, this status allows for the elimination of waiting times in customs for the issuance of the Eur1 Certificate, and it saves the costs associated with the issuance of such a certificate. Another benefit is the reduction of the risk of errors in the transcription of data between the invoice and the Eur1.
Obtaining authorized exporter status becomes a key strategy to avoid potential bureaucratic complications. In an increasingly fast-paced world, the speed and simplification of customs procedures become a tremendous added value in the context of international trade, enabling companies to navigate the market with agility.
To obtain this status, every interested company must apply to the relevant Customs Office, specifying the number of exports within a year, demonstrating knowledge of the rules of origin. Typically, it is advisable to attend a specific course on this matter. Furthermore, the company must commit to retaining previous justifying documentation proving the origin and the calculations made to determine it. The company assumes total responsibility for the declarations and may be subject to inspections by Customs Authorities at any time.
In summary, becoming an authorized exporter not only streamlines business operations related to exports but also provides a significant competitive advantage in terms of flexibility and efficiency in international commercial transactions.
