The European Commission has proposed a revision of the Union Customs Code (UCC) and related regulations, aiming for the most ambitious and comprehensive reform of the EU customs union since its establishment in 1968. The reform focuses on increasing efficiency, enhancing enforcement of EU interests, and ensuring the future sustainability of the customs union. It introduces a new partnership between customs authorities and businesses, an updated monitoring and risk assessment model, and a modernized framework for e-commerce. Key simplifications for traders include streamlining customs procedures, introducing a new “Trust and Check Trader” status, and implementing specific rules tailored to e-commerce. The reform establishes the EU Customs Authority and the EU Customs Data Hub to facilitate information exchange. The EU Customs Data Hub will gradually become mandatory for all economic operators by 2038. Overall, the reform aims to improve transparency, risk management, and data-driven decision-making in customs processes.
