EPI allows to optimize and speed up the process of customs operations in relation to goods moved across customs borders
The main idea of the electronic preliminary informing (EPI) of the customs authorities of the Republic of Belarus is that the carrier, forwarder or any other authorized person shall send in advance to the customs authority a notice of the prescribed specimen with detailed information on carriage and goods imported into the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union. In turn, the customs authority assigns an individual number to this application as confirmation - the EPI number. Upon arrival at the border customs checkpoint, the driver presents the EPI number to the customs authorities. Using this number, customs officer finds the previously submitted notification with information about the transportation and imported goods, compares it with the documents in the driver's hands, and, if there are no discrepancies or ambiguities, makes the registration.
The main goal of the EPI is to optimize and speed up the process of processing your cargo when crossing the border.
Customs authorities perform a format-logical control of the received information and, if there are no errors, assign a unique identification number (EPI number) to the received information on transportation. In this case, the information previously submitted to the customs authorities is taken as the basis for forming an electronic form of the transit declaration.
After arriving at the customs clearance point of the Republic of Belarus, the carrier (forwarder) submits the necessary documents to the customs authority and also provides its EPI number.
Using the EPI number, the customs officer finds information on the goods being transported in the data base and compares it with the submitted documents. If there are no discrepancies and inaccuracies in the documents submitted by the carrier (forwarder) and the information received by the customs authority during preliminary electronic notification is ok, the customs officer releases the goods.
