- From April 16, 2026, the ODS licensing system will be integrated with the customs export system via EU CSW-CERTEX, enabling automatic electronic validation of ODS licences.
- ODS licences will no longer need to be presented manually; verification will occur automatically during export declaration processing.
- Economic Operators must obtain a valid ODS licence before export, declare the licence reference and supporting codes, and ensure all data matches the licence details.
- Only goods with valid ODS licences will be cleared for export; incorrect or inconsistent data may cause delays or rejection.
- The integration will simplify export procedures, reduce administrative burden, and improve processing speed, but operators remain responsible for compliance and data accuracy.
