Authorised consignor

Also called: izinli gönderici

A trader authorised to start transit movements at its own premises without presenting the goods at the office of departure. The authorised consignor typically applies approved seals and enters the movement directly into NCTS.

In practice

This status saves trips to the customs office for regular shippers, but requires reliable record keeping and a guarantee.
