Implementation of EU Proof of Union (PoUS) System for T2L and T2LF Certificates

• From March 1, 2024, operators must use the new EU Proof of Union (PoUS) system for T2L and T2LF applications.
• The system will replace paper T2L and T2LF documents.
• Phase 1 of the system will go into production on March 1, 2024.
• Phase 2, which allows for multiple shipments and goods, is planned for March 1, 2025.
• T2L and T2LF obtained before these dates can still be used if valid.
• Operators must use the EU Customs Trader Portal for the PoUS system.
• The Customs will assess applications based on risk analysis and data provided.
• AEO-licensed operators will be registered instead of applying for T2L/T2LF.
• After validation, operators will receive an MRN number and their proof will be stored in the PoUS database.
• The operator can print their proof using the SRD function.
• There is currently no API available for operators, so applications must be submitted through the Trader Portal.
• Technical information and testing can be done through the Taxud conformity environment.
• Taxud is working on a security update that may cause connection issues for operators using a public IP address.
• Operators can contact the PLDA-helpdesk for more information and access.
