- The EU’s Electronic Customs project aims to replace paper-based customs procedures with electronic ones to enhance security at the EU’s borders and facilitate trade.
- This initiative benefits both businesses and citizens by creating a more efficient and modern customs environment.
- The project has evolved over the past few decades, with key developments such as the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS) in 1997 and the adoption of the Union Customs Code (UCC) in 2016.
- The Multi-Annual Strategic Plan for electronic Customs (MASP-C) outlines the development of EU-wide electronic customs systems.
- Additionally, the digitalization of cultural goods aims to better control illegal trade through the use of digital technologies.
- Regulation (EU) 2019/880 sets uniform rules for the import of cultural goods into the EU.
