- SENIAT issued Notice SNAT/2026/5076 to simplify and standardize online customs procedures, effective immediately.
- The Notice cuts documentary requirements across import/export, tariff classification, valuation, customs service provider authorizations, and special customs regimes, especially for documents already filed or verifiable digitally (e.g., ID copies, RIF certificates, income tax returns, printed SIDUNEA records, QR-coded electronic originals, and some previously accepted powers of attorney).
- Customs must now follow SIDUNEA selectivity channels strictly: green = no review/inspection, yellow = documentary review only, red = documentary review plus physical inspection.
- If a declarant spots errors and duties/taxes have not been paid, the registered customs declaration (DUA) must be canceled within one business day.
- Certain customs procedures are decentralized, with customs offices empowered to decide directly without prior approval from other SENIAT units.
