Definition and rules
Centralised clearance (CC) is one of the simplifications linked with the placement of goods under a customs procedure.
It authorises the holder of the centralised clearance authorisation to lodge a declaration locally (i.e. at the customs office in the EU country where they are established) for goods that have been presented to customs in another EU country (in EU customs territory) .
This allows them to centralise their customs processes, accounting, logistics and distribution.
