PUESC platform – what is it and what are its advantages?

As we mentioned, the Electronic Tax and Customs Services Platform is an advanced tool created by the Ministry of Finance that enables electronic communication. And that is not everything! The platform has been implemented primarily to facilitate the implementation of various procedures related to customs and tax services.

And it is the speed and efficiency of carrying out specific activities related to import, export or transit that is the greatest advantage of PUESC. By using the platform, you save time that you would normally have to spend on visits to customs offices or sending documents by traditional mail. You can do everything online and at the same time receive confirmation of the start or completion of a given procedure.

Transparency – this is the second important advantage of the PUESC platform. Thanks to electronic documentation, you have full insight into the status of your cases and transferred documents. This makes the management of customs and tax operations more transparent and controlled.

Another advantage is cost reduction – you don’t have to print documents or go to offices that are not always in your city.

And last but not least – among the advantages of the Electronic Tax and Customs Services Platform we have to mention increased security: the platform guarantees the safe transmission of documents and data, which minimizes the risk of errors and loss of important information.
