Proof of Union status

In the energy products industry the products are commonly transported from one place in the Union to another place in the Union. For that purpose documents are issued to proof the Union customs status, meaning that the goods come from the free circulation of the Customs Union.

T2L / T2L(F)
A.TR Documents

T2L / T2L(F)

T2L / T2L(F) may only be issued after the CSC department has verified that the goods (and the underlying lots) have Union customs status.

Only trained and authorized personnel may issue documents according to the respective authorizations:

T2L / T2L(F): issued under the company's Self-Issuing Authorization (Vergunning Toegelaten Afgever)

This procedure applies only to goods:

Confirmed as Union status, and
Not excise goods subject to control measures, because such excise goods are already accompanied by an e-AD which itself serves as accepted proof of Union status.
For excise goods with an e-AD: no T2L or T2L(F) is required.

The Customer submits the necessary information for issuing a T2L or T2L(F).

CSC verifies that the goods qualify for Union status proof via T2L / T2L(F):

Validate each lot in internal systems and documentation to confirm Union customs status of the product.
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.

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:

A.TR Documents

A.TR documents may only be issued after the CSC department has verified that the goods (and the underlying lots) have Union customs status.
Only trained and authorized personnel may issue documents according to the respective authorizations:

A.TR: issued under the company’s Approved Exporter Authorization

A.TR documents are issued solely for movements of goods within the framework of the EU-Turkey Customs Union, for the purpose of proving free-circulation status, not origin.

CSC verifies that:

All lots comprising the shipment are in Union free-circulation status.
The goods are eligible for A.TR certification under the EU-Turkey Customs Union framework based on the destination being Turkey.

If inconsistencies appear, the request is held until corrected.

As soon as it is confirmed that the goods are eligible for issuing an A.TR CSC will issue an A.TR together with the Export declaration in accordance with the procedure as prescribed by Dutch Customs, which can be found here:
