A regular shipping service authorisation is also known as a Regular Shipping Service (RSS).
A consignment of Union goods transported as part of a regular shipping service authorisation (RSS licence) granted by Customs between EU ports.
Customs has abolished the ATO obligation for Union goods of regular shipping service authorisation holders, read more here.
However, the agreement between Portbase and the community is that parties continue to submit the master data. This is necessary for other PCS services that support automated port processes. This prevents delays in logistics handling.
