Management of customs authorisations: from a national portal to a Community portal

Since the entry into force of the CDU, the European portal « Customs Decisions System » (CDS) has been established to manage customs decisions at Community level. This portal provides economic operators and customs administrations with a set of online services with the aim of standardising the management of requests for customs decisions instead of national services.

To date, CDS manages 22 customs decisions via the Trader Portal online service. This service is intended for economic operators who already have an account « customs.gouv.fr » with which they request a GHOST clearance to access the European portal.

In order to enable operators to monitor developments related to the use of the CDS portal, customs publishes numerous notes. Here are some examples for the beginning of the year:

  • A Summary Notedevelopments in the CDS systemand listing the customs authorisations that have been progressively switched into this system since July 2020. These are authorisations involving several Member States: centralized clearance, customs warehouse, special destination, inward and passive processing and temporary admission.

This note also contains the arrangements for access to the European portal.

  • A note introducing thenew application form for simplified declaration authorisationwhich must be usedfrom 1 January 2023and which constitutes a step towards the dematerialisation of all applications and the granting of authorisation of simplified procedures on CDS.
  • A note concerningauthorisations to adjust the value :

From1 April 2023, these authorizations will be issued in full in the CDS portal and will no longer be subject to application on paper form at COMINT3 (Trade and Tariff Policy Office).

As a reminder, these decisions make it possible to declare provisional values when the value for duty cannot be established at the time of customs clearance, following two separate procedures:provisional value(with a final ex post adjustment) andValue adjustment(constituted by an adjustment rate authorized by customs to make declarations).

Many evolutions are planned for 2023 at digitalization level, we will keep you informed over the weeks.
