Criteria for Determining Supervising Customs Office in Simplified Authorization Cases for Inward Processing

• For normal authorizations, the supervising customs office must be indicated in the declaration as specified in the authorization.
• For simplified authorizations, the supervising customs office is determined by where the records are kept or accessible.
• For active improvement and end-use, it is the Decentralized Headquarters where regime activity records are kept or accessible.
• For passive improvement, it is the Decentralized Headquarters where records are kept and activities (import/export declarations) are carried out; if unclear, it defaults to where the operator keeps records.
• For temporary import, it is the Decentralized Headquarters where the goods are first used or employed.
