- Overview of EU Customs Data Model (EUCDM): The EUCDM serves as a framework for harmonizing customs data across various trans-European systems and national customs clearance systems. Its objective is to standardize the legally defined data requirements that economic operators must provide for declarations and notifications, ensuring interoperability and compliance with EU customs legislation.
- Key Features of EUCDM 7.0: The latest version includes updated datasets for applications, declarations, and economic operator registration, along with multilingual support, usability improvements, and new mappings to the World Customs Organization (WCO) Data Model. It also introduces features such as a simulation date function for future legal data requirements and structured downloadable content in XML format.
- Legal Framework and Compliance: The EUCDM is based on the Union Customs Code (UCC) and related regulations, and while it aids in the technical implementation of customs IT systems, it does not replace the official specifications of these systems. Businesses must refer to the official legal texts for compliance, as the publication itself holds no legal value.
