The Baltic Electronic Declaring Center is administered by the Baltic Customs. The CED is a special body, which, thanks to the use of modern technologies, is designed to carry out customs clearance of goods located on the territory of different customs posts, in this case subordinate to the Baltic customs. This means, that by submitting a customs declaration to the Baltic CED, goods can be released at any of these posts. Moreover, it is not necessary for the declarant to be present at customs clearance.

The structure of the Baltic Customs, in addition to the Baltic CED, includes posts:

• Kronstadt;
• Forest;
• Turukhanny;
• Shkipersky;
• Harbor;
• Bronka. 

The Baltic CED is used as a customs authority, where cargoes delivered by sea transport and not only are processed. It is located on the territory of the Big Port of St. Petersburg, but this does not limit its competence. It is also possible to arrange for cargo delivered by cars and airplanes. Cargoes arrive here from Germany, Sweden, Poland, China, USA, Norway, Turkey and many other countries. It is a major international transport hub.
