- The European Commission has proposed a comprehensive reform of the EU Customs Union, based on three principles: increasing efficiency, better enforcing financial and non-financial interests, and making the supply chain transparent.
- The reform has three main pillars: a new partnership between customs and business, an updated surveillance and risk assessment model, and a modern framework for e-commerce.
- The reform targets simplification for traders, with a reduction of formalities, a new trader-status, and special rules for e-commerce.
- The creation of the EU Customs Data Hub will act as the engine of the new system and replace Member States’ individual IT infrastructures.
- The EU Customs Data Hub will allow traders to log all customs information into a single IT-interface, avoiding dealing with national customs IT infrastructures.
- The Commission aims to develop common risk management strategies at the EU level.
