Approved Location and Integrated Customs Process Management

"Approved location" is a customs authorization that allows companies to carry out customs clearance operations directly at their warehouses, without physically presenting the goods at the customs office. It represents one of the main simplifications provided by customs regulations to optimize time, costs, and operational control.

The authorization for customs clearance at an approved location allows for efficient and compliant in-house management, with measurable benefits in terms of time, costs, and control:

• Elimination of waiting times at customs;
• Reduction of logistics costs related to physically presenting goods at customs;
• Imports and exports managed directly from company warehouses;
• Significantly reduced physical and documentary customs inspections;
• Possibility to defer duty payments for up to 45 days;
• Real-time monitoring of the entire customs process;
• Greater accuracy in document and operational management;
• Consistent and verifiable customs classification of goods;
• Correct and traceable application of tariff measures;
• Integrated management of export clearance authorizations.

Companies that regularly carry out import and export operations and demonstrate an adequate level of customs, accounting, and organizational reliability can request the authorization.

The application must be submitted to the Customs Authority (ADM) and involves the verification of warehouse requirements, IT systems, and internal procedures.
