Home / FAQ / What is an approved (designated) place, what is the difference between it and a temporary storage facility?

It is a designated place in the warehouse and approved by the customs authority, it can be the entire warehouse or its separate part. Thanks to this solution, the customer (owner, custodian or carrier) can make a customs declaration in import or export in the so-called simplified procedure at this point. As a result, there is no need to transport cargo vehicles to the premises of the Customs Agency or the customs office.

Objective:

– Customs agencies can report a loaded car to customs clearance in the warehouse (stop

customers). A convenient way to do business.

– No need to drive to the Customs Office (skipping the queue).

– Possibility of on-the-spot customs inspection.

The difference between an approved location and a temporary storage facility is that the storage in an approved or designated location cannot exceed 3 days or 6 days for an authorized consignee (recipient who is authorized to end transit procedures himself)
