Customs and Excise Authorisations

VTTI holds the following customs and excise authorisations to support its terminal operations and the associated customs and excise activities:



Copies of the customs and excise authorisations are maintained in BzCtrl under the VTTI Terminals II B.V. section (Files → Customs and Excise Licenses).


All customs authorisations listed above apply to the operations of ETT and ETA. The Customs Warehousing authorisation has a broader, cross-border scope and also covers the relevant operations of VTTI in Cyprus. The customs warehousing activities and related records at these locations are administered under a single cross-border authorisation, in accordance with the applicable conditions, controls and administrative requirements.

The Customs Warehousing authorisation permits the use of equivalent goods. The use of equivalent goods is subject to the specific conditions and control measures set out in the authorisation.

The practical application of equivalent goods, including the related control measures, is described in VTTI’s “Equivalent Goods” procedure.



The customs and excise authorisations are crucial to the continuity of VTTI's terminal operations. Their scope determines which operations the terminals can and cannot execute (e.g. which products can be stored or blended). As such, VTTI has implemented measures to prevent non-compliance with authorisation requirements, activities outside the scope of the authorisations, and the unintended expiry of an authorisation.
