The procedure for granting a permit to an independent financial intermediary to conduct activities on the issuance of financial guarantees in order to ensure payment of customs debt, supervision and control over its compliance with the conditions of such permit, suspension or revocation of the permit;
- Criteria of liquidity, profitability and quality of assets, standards of solvency and capital adequacy, riskiness of operations and quality of assets for an independent financial intermediary;
- The procedure for forming by an independent financial intermediary reserves for reimbursement in full of possible expenses under the provided financial guarantees.
- It should be noted that the permit to issue financial guarantees to ensure payment of the customs debt is issued by the State Customs Service at the request of a person applying for financial guarantor status, free of charge within 120 days from the date of registration of the application.
