HMRC have launched a new online form to enable authorised consignors and consignees to add locations to an existing authorisation more quickly and easily.
You can use the new online form if your new location is an:
- authorised consignor location
- authorised consignee location that is already approved as an External Temporary Storage Facility (ETSF)
You can still send an application using email or post if you cannot use the online form.
You will need to apply by email or post if you want to add an authorised consignee location that operates Authorised Consignee Temporary Storage (ACTS).
Find out more about adding locations and how to access the online form in Add locations to a consignor or consignee authorisation.
Help and support
You can find out about authorised consignor and consignee status in the Transit Manual Supplement.
