T2L / T2LF & Proof of Union Status
PoUS
Support with proving the Union status of goods when this is required while they are being moved.
Goods in free circulation within the EU have “Union status”. On certain routes, for example sea transport that calls at non-EU ports, or when goods are temporarily under customs supervision, that status has to be proven so the goods are not treated as coming from a third country.
The T2L and T2LF are the best-known forms of this proof. The T2LF is used for goods moving from, to or between special fiscal territories of the EU. Today, proof of Union status is generally registered and verified electronically through the EU Proof of Union Status (PoUS) system.
We help you establish whether your route needs proof of Union status and which form fits, and complete the process in good time, before departure.
Send us the details of your case and we will tell you what the procedure involves and what is needed.
