- The EU is introducing a new IT system for Centralised Clearance for Import (CCI) to harmonize customs processes, allowing import declarations in one member state while goods are presented in another.
- The CCI system is being rolled out in phases, with the first phase already active in several countries and the second phase expanding from June 30, 2025.
- In Germany, the new ATLAS Release 10.2, supporting CCI, will go live on February 28, 2026, replacing version 10.1.
- Centralisation is also progressing for export procedures, with Luxembourg meeting requirements for Centralised Clearance for Export (CCE) as of October 13, 2025.
- The ongoing expansion of participating member states demonstrates the EU’s commitment to centralising customs clearance for both imports and exports.
