Place Recognized - another convenience for importers using Alfa Warehouses.

Do you import non-standard goods? Their transportation is difficult due to dimensions and characteristics?

Remember that their presentation to customs may take place at so-called recognized places.

This means that these goods do not have to be delivered to the headquarters of the customs offices, and the operations of their clearance are carried out at their final destination accepting the aforementioned status.

This makes it possible to perform a wide variety of customs operations on goods imported from third countries. This is a major convenience for the logistics operator, as he does not have to send his drivers and vehicles to customs offices to complete the necessary procedures there.

Place Recognized - handling customs procedures

At the recognized place, the so-called presentation, i.e. notification to customs of the arrival of goods from third countries, can be made. In this context, the recognized place is used to either close or open transit procedures, such as TIR or WPT, for example. This can be done under either standard or simplified procedures. A recognized place can also be used for transshipment or reloading, which is done while still in transit without closing one and opening another transit operation.

Recognized Place - short term storage of goods

Goods may be stored under customs seal for a short time at a recognized location. In a standard situation it is only3 days from the said presentation of goods. On the other hand, when the entity has AEO status, i.e. is a so-called authorized economic operator, the period is extended twice, to 6 days. Storage at a recognized place is usually used when the importer does not have a set of documents needed for customs procedures, and wants, for example, to release the means of transport to continue transport. Goods that are temporarily stored in a recognized place, All customs operations must be subjected to in their entirety.

Alfa Warehouses has its own Alfa Customs Agency

The condition for using this facility is that the place of delivery of the goods is recognized by the customs authority. This place may be used by entities that can ensure the proper implementation of customs operations and provide a customs security

Attention!

The term of storage of goods in a recognized place should not exceed 3 days or 6 days - in the case of entities with the status of authorized consignee.

The importer can also enjoy this privilege as an authorized consignee in a transit procedure. By gaining the latter privilege, he will be able to place the goods under the regular clearance procedure at the recognized place he uses on a daily basis.

The evident benefit of these solutions will be a reduction in the time it takes to clear non-standard goods and reduce their transportation in the urban cycle. This will also minimize the risk of damage to them and preclude the need to obtain additional permits for their transportation.

For entities with an AEO certificate, access to these privileges should be even more widespread. This is because such entities meet all the conditions for applying for the said place. For them, this institution should also be achievable in the case of importing special goods (dangerous, excise, sensitive goods).
