- § 21b UStG introduces special regulations for using centralised customs clearance (CCI) for imports, effective from January 1, 2026.
- The regulation allows customs declarations to be made at a central customs office, regardless of where goods physically enter the EU.
- This decouples the place of presentation of goods from the place of customs declaration, enabling cross-border customs processing within the EU.
- The aim is to streamline and simplify customs procedures for importers using centralised clearance.
