Customs representation

It is necessary to distinguish between customs clearance and other procedures under customs regulations. Customs clearance is defined as a procedure by which it is decided whether and under what conditions the goods imported, exported or transported through the Union customs territory are placed under the proposed customs procedure or are re-exported. This procedure relates to a specific consignment of goods on the import, transit, and export of goods, which starts with the lodging of a customs declaration or a re-export declaration and ends with the release of the goods for the proposed customs procedure or re-export.

However, in addition to the customs clearance, there are other procedures under the customs regulations, such as procedures concerning the application for customs authorisations or tortious procedures. We also provide representation within these procedures, but this cannot be considered as representation within the customs clearance.

We distinguish between direct and indirect representation within the customs clearance.

We are not a classical customs company, which would specialize only in customs declaration, but our clients often ask us to complete the customs clearance within the specific case. Therefore, we usually provide customs representation within the specific cases that require consultation with customs officers and other institutions, deeper knowledge of customs and tax issues and a special approach.

We are pleased to provide consultations and customs representation within the customs procedures in the following cases:

• import and export of electricity and import and export of gas, where we have the necessary know-how and can provide representation and consultations to Slovak and foreign entities,
• import and export of electricity and import and export of gas, where we have the necessary know-how and can provide representation and consultations to Slovak and foreign entities, – import of the specific goods exempted from customs duties and, where appropriate, exempted from VAT,
• release of goods for a temporary admission with a total relief from import duties.

Of course, depending on the case, we can assume the customs representation in other cases, or arrange a customs representation by a cooperating specialized customs company.
