Customs and excise authorisations
The customs authorisations are applicable to the operations at ETT and ETA. The customs warehouse authorisation has a cross-border scope and is, besides ETT and ETA also applicable to VTTV.
A copy of the customs and excise authorisations is included in BzCtrl. in the VTTI Terminals II B.V. section, in Files --> Customs and Excise licenses.
The customs and excise authorisations are crucial for the continuity of VTTI's terminal operations. Their scope determines which operations the terminal can/cannot execute (e.g., which products can be stored, which can be blended, etc.) As such. VTTI has implemented measures to prevent non-compliance with authorisation requirements, exceeding the scope of the authorisations, and the unintended expiry of an authorisation.
