Comprehensive guarantee authorisation

The comprehensive guarantee authorisation (CGU) is the one most often used by companies. A company should apply for a comprehensive guarantee authorisation, if it regularly needs to lodge a guarantee for a customs debt. The comprehensive guarantee is an alternative to the individual guarantee, which has to be lodged for each customs declaration.

You will need a comprehensive guarantee authorisation to be able to apply for an authorisation for the following customs procedures from the Customs Authorisation Centre:

transit
temporary storage
customs warehousing
inward processing
end-use
temporary admission.

Apply for a comprehensive guarantee authorisation in the Authorisations and Decisions Service.
