Overview

This presentation highlights the changes in customs enforcement due to the increased use of technology, in particular the innovations in this field. Whereas technology up till today still is being used as a supporting tool for customs in detection of goods and its authentication to customs declaration data, in the near future one will see so-called autodetection of data and images.

Frank Heijmann is the co-author of the book 'Customs: Inside Anywhere, Insights Everywhere', published in 2023. This book describes how Customs have searched and found ultimately a proper balance between apparently contradictory tasks: on the one hand stopping international trade at the border to collect taxes and protect society's safety and security, on the other hand minimizing logistic delays and facilitating legitimate trade as as much as possible.

The presentation gives an insight into the contents of the book. This video is a recording of a presentation given by Frank Heijmann at the European Conference for Customs Practitioners in Vilnius, Lithuania (May 2023).

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.
