Representatives’ empowerment
Article 34
1. When dealing with the customs authorities, a customs representative shall state that it is acting on behalf of the person represented and shall specify whether the representation is direct or indirect. Persons who fail to state that they are acting as a customs representative or who state that they are acting as a customs representative without being empowered to do so shall be deemed to be acting in their own name and on their own behalf. 2. The customs authorities may require persons stating that they are acting as a customs representative to provide evidence of their empowerment by the person that they represent. 3. The customs authorities shall not require a person acting as a customs representative, carrying out acts and formalities on a regular basis, to produce on every occasion evidence of empowerment. This notwithstanding, such person shall always be in a position to produce such evidence if requested to do so by the customs authorities.
