🇬🇧 English

This law establishes a procedure allowing goods to be cleared through customs directly from the importer's or exporter's location without needing to go through a customs office. This applies to goods being imported, exported or re-imported, with certain exemptions decided by customs administration. It simplifies the process for businesses but requires strict accounting and record-keeping to ensure compliance. This can be especially beneficial for companies engaged in frequent exporting and importing as it allows operations 24/7 and reduces logistical delays.
