Below are his statements:

“1. In addition to other mandatory conditions for paying taxes, absence of fiscal obligations, fiscal records, customs, etc., they must have transactions of more than 50 million lei. Apply to us, it’s a whole procedure you know.

2. Centralized customs clearance. That is, the UEO operator (authorized economic operator number) goes and submits a customs declaration at the customs office where he is located. It is not bound by any kind of permission.

If it happens on the spot that my colleagues ask for permission, please contact us. Automatically, when goods arrive at customs, they communicate with each other and clear customs at the point of presentation.

3. Operator registration. Customs clearance is required. This can be recorded directly in your documents, and then the goods will not be presented to customs.”
