Union status is proved in Proof of Union Status (PoUS) system.
A Customs verification is not required
- if it is a case of an invoice or transport document regarding goods worth no more than 15,000 euros in all
- If an authorised issuer uses a shipping company’s cargo manifest for proving Union status, they can continue using the manifest in the old method of declaration until 15 August 2025 (Delegated Act, Article 126a). In such cases, the authorised issuer must submit an advance notification to Customs regarding the goods manifest they have verified. However, an advance declaration is not required if the authorised issuer is permitted to draft a shipping company’s goods manifest after the ship departs (Delegated Act, Article 128c).
