What is SASP?
SASP is a Single Authorisation involving more than one Member State for the use of the simplified declaration or the local clearance procedure. It enables an economic operator to centralise the accounting and payment of customs duties for all his transactions in the Member State where he is established, regardless of the place where the movement of goods occurs. The physical control and release of goods may take place in another Member State.
