Authorised Consignor
Streamlined transit operations, regulatory compliance and lasting operational capability.
Authorised consignor status enables businesses that meet the applicable conditions to initiate common transit operations from their authorised premises, within the scope of their authorisation, without physically presenting the goods at the customs office of departure.
C-INSPEC provides comprehensive advisory support for authorised consignor readiness, eligibility assessment, application procedures and operational compliance after authorisation.
Our Advisory Services
Authorised consignor status requires an organisation to develop the capability to assess regulatory requirements, site infrastructure, transit operations and internal controls together as part of securing and maintaining its authorisation.
C-INSPEC assesses each organisation’s existing operations and level of compliance with the authorisation conditions. We provide advice from application preparation through to maintaining effective processes after authorisation.
- Preliminary eligibility assessment: Assessment of the authorisation conditions, existing activities and operational structure.
- Application preparation: Review of the required information, documents and process documentation.
- Premises and operations assessment: Review of dispatch locations, recordkeeping, goods security and operational controls.
- NCTS procedures: Assessment of system and operational workflows for common transit operations.
- Internal controls and compliance: Development of role assignments, control points, record traceability and risk management processes.
- Post-authorisation support: Monitoring regulatory changes, reviewing operational processes and supporting ongoing compliance.
Authorisation decisions rest with the competent customs authorities. Our advisory services do not guarantee acceptance of an application or the granting of authorisation.
