AADE: digital application for Binding Origin Information
The authority announced the myAADE application route for international-trade businesses. What an origin decision covers and what its three-year duration means.
AADE announced digital applications for Binding Origin Information (BOI) on 23 October 2026, citing decision A.1219/2026.
Application route
According to AADE, applications are submitted through myAADE under “My Requests → Customs → Origin → Binding Origin Information” (menu labels translated from Greek).
What BOI provides
The European Commission explains that BOI determines goods’ preferential or non-preferential origin and binds the holder and EU customs authorities. It is optional and concerns imports or exports after the decision is issued. It is normally valid for up to three years.
The necessary proof of origin is still required for a preferential duty rate. The three-year period concerns BOI validity, rather than application processing time. AADE’s release refers to time limits without specifying their duration; it gives no same-day issuance guarantee.
