Application for the granting of the status of 'approved exhibitor' for the purpose of providing evidence of the Union status of goods
Source: Serviceportal Rheinland-PfalzAll goods in the customs territory of the Union shall, in principle, have the customs status of Union goods without any further proof being required. If Union goods are transported between 2 places located within the customs territory of the Union and temporarily leave the customs territory of the Union during this transport, it is necessary to prove the status as Union goods. To do this, you must present the relevant documents to the competent customs office before the transport of the goods begins. The competent customs office will then affix an endorsement to the relevant paperwork.
As the holder of an authorisation with the status of "approved exhibitor", you can simplify the procedure for proving the Union status of goods to the customs authorities.
As an "approved exhibitor" you are entitled to:
- Issue T2L or T2LF without applying for an endorsement from the competent customs office,
- issue the goods manifest of a shipping company without applying for an endorsement from the competent customs office,
- to prove the Union status of goods by means of an invoice or transport document without the need for an endorsement by the competent customs office (if the value of the Union goods exceeds EUR 15,000).
For the granting of the status of "approved issuer", you must submit a written or electronic application. The form of application depends on whether the authorisation is to be valid only in Germany or also in other member states.
As an approved exhibitor, you have various obligations of proof and retention with which you prove the status of Union goods to the customs authorities.
