Applications and authorisations for the operation of temporary storage facilities Applicants can use the Customs Decisions System (CDS) to do the


following: • Apply for a decision, • Attach required supporting documents, • Check the status of the application, • Request extension of a time limit, • Express the right to be heard, • Request to amend, suspend or revoke a decision.


In line with article 26 of the Union Customs Code, the system offers two options: 1) Single member state or national decisions which will only affect and be valid in the member state to which the application is addressed and no other member states are involved.


2) Multi-member states with decisions potentially affecting (being valid) in several, or all, member states. The applicant must indicate the relevant choice in the mandatory data


field ‘geographical validity’. It is worth noting that at the point of implementation, some Customs


authorities will only process applications valid in more than one member state.


What can I apply for? The scheme supports 22 authorisations divided into five category groups: • The placing of goods under the customs procedure and temporary storage,


• Special procedures, • Transit,


December 2017


• Regular shipping services, • Other applications (standard processes).


CDS does not support AEO and BTI because dedicated EU systems are


already maintained for them. The system does not support applications and decisions on repayment or remission of customs duties. The list of authorisations can be found above. Further information on


the CDS can be found at: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/customs- procedures/customs-decisions_en


What will happen to existing authorisations? No paper-based version of the applications and authorisations will be accepted after the launch date of the Customs Decisions System. As a consequence of this, the existing authorisations will need to be


migrated into the new system. Authorisations issued before 1 May 2016 shall be re-assessed before 1


May 2019 (as per Article 345 IA and Article 250(1) DA). Where appropriate, a new authorisation shall be granted and must be introduced in the system (the re-assessed authorisation is revoked). If a new authorisation is not needed, the re-assessed authorisation is


revoked (and not encoded). If the authorisation has been issued between 1 May 2016 and the date of entry in production of the system, the authorisation may not contain all data elements required in the system (as per Art. 2(4) IA). In such a case, the Customs authorities may request additional


information from the trader before introducing it in the system. All authorisations will be encoded in the system (if still active).
