The Customs Service issues authorization to use the integrated guarantee on the basis of an application submitted in electronic format through the Customs Solutions Information System, which can be accessed on the ecustoms.trade.gov.md platform.
The establishment of customs guarantees is a prerequisite for covering the amount of import or export duties, corresponding to customs debts, in respect of two or more transactions, declarations or customs regimes.
Economic operators may choose to establish a comprehensive guarantee in various forms: deposit of funds in cash or by transfer to a Treasury guarantee account (in national currency), or a commitment made by the guarantor; other forms of guarantee to cover customs duties and other payments due.
The Customs Service provides economic operators with the possibility of obtaining substantial benefits under conditions stipulated in the regulations, such as a reduction of the guarantee to 50% or 30% of the base amount, or complete exemption from providing the guarantee.
In order to effectively utilize this instrument, a Practical Guide on the Establishment and Use of Customs Guarantees has also been launched, which provides clear instructions on the process of requesting, obtaining and using guarantees.
Between January 2024 and May 2025, the Customs Service issued 169 authorizations for the use of the comprehensive guarantee. Of these, the use of a global guarantee equal to 100% of the reference amount – 144, 50% – 4, 30% – 1, application of a comprehensive guarantee using a waiver of guarantee – 2.
Permits issued by types of customs procedures: transit – 99, customs warehouse – 45, temporary import – 12, temporary storage – 13.
Banks ensured the issuance of 94 permits, and insurance companies – 51.
