The clearance authorisation

The clearance authorisation is a key document in the customs process that allows the legal entry or exit of goods into or out of the country. This document is issued by the customs authority and ensures that the goods comply with the rules and regulations of the destination country.

To proceed with the clearance authorisation, you must log on to the AEAT website and authorise the customs broker to act on behalf of the importer and/or exporter.
