Company-importer of goods must be necessarily registered at the same customs station where in future customs clearance of goods is to take place.
The Customs station should be chosen at will however it must be regarded that as per many groups of goods there are the so called "declaration points" i.e. customs clearance can be carried out only at specified customs stations having permit for processing one or another goods type.
In case of supplying different goods according to the Contract quite often com-pany-importer must be registered and perform customs clearance immediately at several stations. It complicates customs clearance procedure especially when mixed goods are dispatched by the supplier simultaneously as one goods party.
