German term or phrase: Anbringen
Trotz sinkendem Personalstand konnte die Erledigung von Anbringen an die Zollbehörden deutlich beschleunigt werden: Betrug die durchschnittliche Erledigungszeit im Jahr 2002 noch 72 Tage für Rechtsmittelerledigungen und Erstattungsanträge und 60 Tage für Bewilligungen nach dem Zollrecht, beliefen sich diese Werte im Jahr 2004 auf 46 respektive 42.

I'm having trouble with the bit 'Anbringen an die Zollbehörden'.

This is a document about the facts and figures of all government processes, here about customs.

Thanks!

Explanation:
may be a tad more to the point since 'Rechtsmittel' are involved

Anbringen liegt etwas näher an 'Ersuchen'
