That is why it is important for you to know: What is blockchain anyway? How does the technology work and how could it be used in customs? We will explain that and more in this article.

Prekių deklaravimo pokyčiai, iššūkiai ir aktualūs klausimai
25-02-2024

Viena po kitos keičiamos ir atnaujinamos muitinės sistemos – kovą pradėsime naudoti elektroninius T2L, iMDAS importui, tačiau ir neseniai įgyvendinti pokyčiai dar kelia klausimų, pavyzdžiui, kaip teisingai deklaruoti prekes nelikus procedūros kodo „49“ arba kaip tam tikrais atvejais forminti eksportą iš muitinei priimtinos vietos. Muitinės praktikų asociacijos nariai aktyviai diskutuoja šiais klausimais virtualiame forume, o taip pat kviečia į kovo 7 d. vyksiantį vebinarą-apkrito stalo diskusiją „Aktualūs pokyčiai muitinės deklaracijoje“. Apžvelkime pokyčių muitinės deklaracijoje temą, verslui kylančius iššūkius ir atsakymus į minėtus praktinius klausimus.

MERCOSUR launches Customs Data Model based on WCO standard and takes a leap forward in terms of data exchange
23-02-2024

The Southern Common Market (known as MERCOSUR) is a regional integration process initially established by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, and subsequently joined by Venezuela (currently suspended) and Bolivia (whose accession procedure is still underway). MERCOSUR makes its decisions through three bodies: the Council of the Common Market (CMC), which is the main MERCOSUR body that conducts the integration process politically; the Common Market Group (GMC), which oversees the day-to-day functioning of the bloc; and the Mercosur Trade Commission (CCM), which is responsible for the administration of common commercial policy instruments.

EU Customs Data Model (EUCDM)
31-12-2023

The electronic customs declaration consists of data elements that should be harmonised worldwide so that customs can verify the data flow from the exporting country to the importing country. The World Customs Organisation has developed the WCO data model, which provides a universal language for cross-border data exchange. The EU has adopted this model for its own purposes and for trans-European use.

UCC e-systems: Updated implementation deadlines
26-12-2023

The remaining electronic systems provided for in the Union Customs Code (UCC) will be implemented in 2024 and 2025. The introduction of a new customs system can have various implications for a company, depending on its specific activity: time savings when paper documents become electronic (e.g. T2L), significant financial savings thanks to new simplification possibilities (e.g. centralised clearance), the need to adapt company processes and software to the transition to the new systems, or simply the potential for disruption during implementation (for example, the introduction of new services of the Intelligent Customs Declaration System (iMDAS) this month in Lithuania has led to a sad joke in business community that the only Christmas wish is a working iMDAS), etc. On 15 December, the European Commission adopted a new work programme to replace the previous one. Let's take a look at the updated implementation deadlines for the systems planned for the coming years. If you work with these systems, you should think about how they will or might affect your organisation and prepare accordingly.
