Practical guide to the customs power of attorney and mandate

The latest book written by Danilo Desiderio for the Centre of Studies and Services of the Italian Council of Customs Brokers (Giappichelli Editions) on the "customs power of attorney and mandate" is available in all the bookstores. The book, bearing an introduction written by Mr. Walter de Santis (Director of the Central Area, Controls and Relations with Users of the Customs Agency and Deputy Director of the Customs Agency), deals in a comparative way with the typical procedures with which operators confer the customs representation powers both in the European Union and in several Countries of the world (e.g. USA, Canada, Australia, Russia, Mexico, Japan, etc.), with an in-depth analysis of those cases where the customs broker acts as sub-delegate of a third person (e.g. a forwarding agent), that in turn, has been appointed by the operator as his mandatee. The book gathers and comments a wide range of power of attorney and mandate templates, suggesting practical solutions to the main problems related to the delegation and sub-delegation of customs representation powers.

"Guida pratica alla procura e al mandato in dogana" can be purchased also on-line on the Giappichelli Editor's website, here.
