Customs representation services: Granting of an identification number

The application (code 9PK) is submitted electronically via the Customs Authorisations System client portal (MLS): https://mls.lrmuitine.lt.

To submit an application, you must be registered in the Common User Management Portal (BAP) as a recipient of customs electronic services.

Together with the application for an identification number, the following must be submitted:

• a manager's order on the appointment of the responsible person
• the job description of that person
• documents confirming professional qualifications
• other related documents

Scanned copies of these documents are to be submitted.

The qualification requirement applies to:

• the applicant (if a natural person)
• the person responsible for customs matters on behalf of the applicant (if the applicant is a company)

The applicant's professional qualifications must meet the requirements of Article 27(1)(a) or (b) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.

Professional qualifications are a requirement to ensure that the customs representative has sufficient knowledge and experience to apply customs legislation.

A person is considered to have the required professional qualifications if they have completed customs training and passed a qualification examination.

In Lithuania, the qualification examination is taken at the Customs Training Centre. The examination may also be taken without prior training. Training may be organised by other institutions whose programmes have been coordinated with the Customs Department.

The identification number remains valid until it is revoked in accordance with the procedure established by law (e.g. in the event of changed circumstances or failure to meet the requirements).

An identification number is not required when a person deals with customs solely on their own behalf (e.g. declaring their own goods).
