What is an authorized consignor?
An authorized consignor may open transit procedures at an approved location without presenting the goods at the customs office of departure.
An authorized consignor is a company with a customs authorization that may open a transit procedure at an approved location without physically presenting the goods at the customs office of departure. This can make processes in the transit procedure significantly more plannable.
This simplification is particularly relevant for T1 or T2 procedures. It can help reduce waiting times and integrate customs processes more efficiently into transport handling. Whether it can be used depends on authorization, customs status of the goods, procedure and the specific transport case.
For international truck transports, an authorized consignor can offer advantages when transit processes are prepared early. GLOBALSPED takes such possibilities into account in transport-related customs coordination.
