Customsdigital -
the online magazine for digitization of the customs world
Our vision - revolutionize the customs world and make IT easy to understand for customs experts
Acting on our own initiative, with a passion for customs, and a fascination with digitization, we developed the Customsdigital project.
Perhaps you recognize the following situation, when you as a customs professional speak to an IT expert. Suddenly there are terms being used that might as well be another language. API, crawling, backbone, BinHex, IOT, just to mention a few. And then the thought: “It’s all Greek to me”.
In the same way, you regularly come across buzzwords, like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and “in future, everything will be automated”. You then go to the office and print out documents to type up the customs declaration, and realize that the dream is still far from reality.
Why Customsdigital?
“Thanks to a broad scope of application, what may sound complex at first is actually fascinating. As customs experts who are familiar with the UCC and regulations, Customsdigital aims to bring us a step closer to the issue of digitization, explaining it, and stimulating ideas for our own projects.”
To put it simply, we want to bring together two “nerds” who need each other. To this end, we look forward to many interesting suggestions, as well as people who are keen to support the project and share their knowledge.

Dear reader,
Welcome to the second edition of Customsdigital.
The world is in the process of digitalisation.
From our own experiences and in exchange with customers and authorities, we have the opportunity to gain deep insights into the workings of the customs industry. The topic of procedures and processes and how these can be automated and thus digitalised in the future appears to be increasingly important. Be it with the help of tools, our own attitude to the topic, or also experience reports from neighbouring countries. In the future, we want to continue to share our diverse knowledge and make as many people as possible fit for the future of the digital customs industry.
I would also like to cordially invite you to pass on topic requests and ideas to us so that we continue to publish the right topics and articles for you in our development.
Best regards,
Janine Lampprecht
