Customs and Excise Authorisations
TThe customs authorisations are applicable to the operations of ETT and ETA. The customs warehouse authorisation has a cross-border scope and, in addition to ETT and ETA in the Netherlands, also applies to VTTV in Cyprus.
Copies of the customs and excise authorisations are maintained in BzCtrl under the VTTI Terminals II B.V. section (Files → Customs and Excise Licenses).
TThe 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.
