Digitalization of Supplier Declarations in EU Customs Rules

• The EU Commission amended customs rules to introduce a data model for exchanging supplier declarations related to preferential origin information.
• New definitions were added for terms like origin document, preferential agreement, supplier, customer, and origin status.
• The new supplier declaration format, in Annex 22-15, includes mandatory/optional data and six declaration types; it applies from 23 June 2028.
• Customs may accept expired origin documents in some cases, and several procedures are being simplified under preferential agreements.
• The amended rules also remove the previous requirement for customs to ask traders for INF 4 information sheets from suppliers.
