Normal cargo clearance, when the cargo arrives at EU entry customs, once all import requirements are met, the cargo can be released:
· Duties and other charges for all goods have been paid.
· An import license for restricted goods has been submitted.
· All applicable authorizations and certificates (eg plastic or anti-dumping) have been submitted.
Non-EU goods can be transferred from one location to another within the EU customs territory without paying import duties at the first port of call, goods can be transferred to another EU country, customs clearance can be transferred to destination customs and imports paid tariffs, etc.
Goods can be transferred from one country to another within the EU customs territory (goods that have been cleared and customs duties paid) and can be self-transported within the EU.
Non-EU goods may be stored in other locations on premises authorized by customs and under customs supervision ("customs warehouses") without payment of import duties and other charges associated with the importation of goods.
Member States can designate part of the EU customs area as a bonded zone. Goods are exempt from import duties, other charges (i.e. domestic taxes) until they are assigned another approved customs procedure or re-exported. Goods can also undergo simple operations such as processing and repackaging.
Non-EU goods can enter the EU without paying import duties, provided they are used for re-export. The maximum period for temporary importation is two years.
Goods can be imported into the EU without paying duties, taxes and formalities, processed under customs supervision, and then exported. If there is no export in the end, they will pay duties and import fees.
EU goods may be temporarily exported from the EU customs territory for processing purposes. The processed goods can be released for circulation with full or partial exemption from import duties.
In short, although the EU is a customs union, there are still some differences in customs requirements between them, such as licensing or packaging and labeling requirements.
