We would like to mention that due to Council Directive 262/2020 entering into force on February 13th 2023, there is a legal requirement to register in the Excise Movement Control System (EMCS) the movements of excise products. The movement includes duty paid and duty suspended, no matter the quantity. We would like to stress that the Directive also applies to the request of ethanol samples, and therefore it is required that the recipient of duty paid excise goods that would like to receive ethanol cross EU Member States, holds an authorization “certified consignee” in order to be allowed to receive excise goods under duty paid regime. Cargill decided as well that in case of not holding the mentioned authorization, it will still be possible to receive samples of excise goods under duty suspension with the respective licenses in place.
