EXPP2130 - National Export System (NES) and authorisation procedures: representation - general information
NES simplified procedures may be operated by any legal entity that is established within the EU. Â Legal entities may be authorised to act purely on their own behalf (Self-Representation) or on behalf of their customers (Indirect Representation). Some legal entities may wish to become authorised in their own right but employ a third party to complete/submit the declarations for them. These third parties may also be employed to maintain certain supporting documents and records for the authorised trader. The third party (agent/warehouse-keeper/software bureau etc) in these instances would be acting as a Direct Representative (DR).
In the UK DRs may not be authorised for NES.
