Council Directive (EU) 2020/262 of December 19, 2019, which organizes the overhaul of the general excise regime, entered into force on February 13, 2023. Following this new directive, two new statutes were created for the circulation of products subject to alcohol excise duty.
Certified consignor (“EC”) status.
Certified consignee (“DC”) status.
The certified consignor is thus defined in Article 3 of the directive as “a natural or legal person registered with the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch in order to dispatch, in the exercise of his profession, products subject to excise duty released for consumption in the territory of a Member State and then moved to the territory of another Member State.”
In the same article, the certified recipient is defined as “a natural or legal person registered with the competent authorities of the Member State of destination in order to receive, in the exercise of his profession, products subject to excise duty for consumption in the territory of one Member State and then introduced into the territory of another Member State.”
Eurotax will not only help you define the excise status appropriate to your situation but will also help you make the corresponding authorization requests to the customs administration, and will also ensure that you maintain your compliance.
