- For **T2L(F)** requests, confirm that the goods fall within the scope for which a T2L(F) is required (typically agricultural/fisheries goods where applicable).
- Confirm the goods are **not excise goods under EMCS control**.

If discrepancies exist, the request is placed **on hold** until clarified with the Customer or resolved in the administration.

<div>As soon as the Union customs status is confirmed with the required underlying documentation, CSC will use the PoUS system to issue a T2L(F), in accordance with the instruction as prescribed in the procedure provided by Dutch Customs. This procedure can be found here:</div><div>
