Definition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>RCR (registered customs representative)<\/strong> is a natural or legal person previously registered with customs to carry out, on behalf of others, acts and customs formalities provided for by customs regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The RCR can, in particular, prepare and submit customs declarations, transmit the necessary information for the application of customs regulations, and carry out the associated formalities.<\/p>\n<p>They can act under two modes of representation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Direct representation: the RCR acts in the name and on behalf of their client;<\/li>\n<li>Indirect representation: the RCR acts in their own name but on behalf of their client.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prior registration is mandatory for operators wishing to carry out direct or indirect customs representation activities.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Context of intervention<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>RCR<\/strong> can intervene, on behalf of their clients, in operations requiring the completion of customs formalities, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Import and export customs declarations;<\/li>\n<li>Operations falling under specific customs procedures;<\/li>\n<li>Transmission and management of customs data and formalities on behalf of third parties;<\/li>\n<li>Formalities related to customs and security arrangements, according to authorisations and the type of representation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>RCR: what are the responsibilities?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The activity of an <strong>RCR<\/strong> notably involves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Complying with registration obligations and informing customs of any changes likely to affect this registration;<\/li>\n<li>Possessing the professional skills necessary to carry out the activity;<\/li>\n<li>Guaranteeing the reliability and accuracy of information transmitted to customs in the course of their duties;<\/li>\n<li>Complying with customs obligations and applicable deadlines for operations processed on behalf of their clients;<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring the traceability and retention of documents and information in accordance with applicable obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The responsibilities of the RCR depend notably on the chosen mode of representation (direct or indirect) and the nature of the formalities completed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do
