Lithuania sets customs-representative exam: 50 questions, two tasks

Natural persons who want to provide customs-representation services in Lithuania obtain the professional-qualification certificate by passing a qualifying examinationE TAR. The procedure is set by Muitinės departamento prie Lietuvos Respublikos finansų ministerijos generalinio direktoriaus 2026 m. lapkričio 6 d. įsakymas Nr. 1BE-673E TARE TAR, organised by the Muitinės mokymo centrasE TAR.

The examination may follow preparatory courses by the Centras or by a body whose programme is agreed with the Muitinės departamentasE TAR, and it must be passed or retaken within six months of the last course dayE TAR. A candidate may sit self-prepared without coursesE TAR, but a candidate who fails on that route may retake only after completing the coursesE TAR. The examination is held at the CentrasE TAR, with the date, time and place published on www.muitine.lrv.lt. Registration runs through MOVAS via the Elektroniniai valdžios vartaiE TAR with name and contacts, no later than two working days before the dateE TAR; cancellation is possible no later than one working day beforeE TAR, and an uncancelled no-show may retake no earlier than 30 calendar days laterE TAR. The sitting may not take place with fewer than three registered, and registered candidates are notified of any date change.

The state fee follows the Lietuvos Respublikos rinkliavų įstatymasE TAR, Vyriausybės 2000 m. gruodžio 15 d. nutarimas Nr. 1458E TAR and Muitinės departamento 2008 m. gruodžio 17 d. įsakymas Nr. 1B-800E TAR, with a separate fee per retakeE TAR; a failed-examination fee is not refunded except under Rinkliavų įstatymo 10 straipsnisE TAR. Candidates bring an identity documentE TAR and, for non-Centras courses, the completion document. A standing commission of at least five members, quorate with three, assesses the candidates.

Both parts are computer-basedE TAR on the same dayE TAR, theory firstE TAR. Theory is a test of at least 50 questionsE TARE TAR passed at six or more marks out of tenE TAR; failing theory means no practical part that dayE TAR and both parts next timeE TAR, except that a candidate who banked theory but failed the practical part may retake only the practical partE TAR. The practical part has two tasksE TAR, goods classification and filling declaration data elementsE TAR, each passed at six or moreE TAR. Candidates may use the LITAR and TARIC databases, the digital Combined Nomenclature and a Commission calculator. Other devices and information and leaving the room without good reason are prohibited; proven cheating stops the sittingE TAR and fails itE TAR, and refusing or skipping a test or task fails the examinationE TAR. Results enter the evaluation sheet and signed protocols; failed candidates may inspect their papers on request, and assessments may be appealed as the law provides.

The Centras issues the certificateE TAR with an eight-character number, LT plus six digits, signed electronically and sent by email. Data changes bring a new certificate on a reasoned request with proofE TAR, and loss brings a duplicate marked DUBLIKATASE TAR; both are decided within 10 working daysE TAR, refusals in writing within 10 working daysE TAR.

Legal basis is Muitinės departamento generalinio direktoriaus 2026 m. lapkričio 6 d. įsakymas Nr. 1BE-673 with the attached AprašasE TAR, adopted under Lietuvos Respublikos muitinės įstatymo 15 straipsnio 2 dalies 5 punktasE TAR.
