Authorised Consignee and Consignor Status

If you’re regularly moving goods using transit procedures, you can apply for authorised consignor or consignee status which will allow you to start or end the movement of goods under the Common Transit Convention or Union Transit at your own premises rather than at a customs office.

You can apply for both authorised consignor and consignee status.

Start moving goods from your premises or a customs facility (Authorised Consignor Status)

You’ll need to get authorised consignor status to start movement of your goods from your premises or an approved customs facility, like:

• a warehouse
• a designated export place
• an enhanced remote transit shed
• a temporary storage facility

As an authorised consignor you’ll be able to:

• declare goods without presenting them at the customs office
• print the transit accompanying document and, where applicable, the list of items at the consignor’s premises
• remove goods under customs control directly from their authorised location

Finish moving goods at your premises (Authorised Consignee Status)

You’ll need to get authorised consignee status to end the movement of goods at your own premises.

As an authorised consignee you’ll be able to:

• receive goods without needing to present the goods and transit accompanying document (TAD) to customs at the customs office
• send your arrival notification message to the relevant office electronically
• receive automatic permission to unload the goods, if the goods are not subject to further controls or inspections by the customs office
