- The EU Commission is planning significant customs reforms for imported goods.
- The reforms aim to simplify the process through digitalization and data-driven methods.
- An EU customs data platform would be established, managed by a new EU customs authority.
- The platform would increase transparency and enable targeted customs controls.
- “Trustworthy traders” who adhere to regulations would have minimal customs involvement.
- Responsibility for customs duties and VAT in e-commerce would shift to online platforms.
- The overall goal is to reduce bureaucracy, enhance security, and streamline the customs process.
- The proposals are still undergoing discussions and debates in the EU Parliament and Council.
