Netherlands Centralised Clearance: Why Process Comes Before Software

  • EU Centralised Clearance authorisations are now available for AEO-C holders via the EU Trader Portal; Dutch Customs’ rollout plan has Centralised Clearance for entry in declarant’s records (EIDR) from 2028, with standard and simplified declarations following from 2029.
  • The key implementation issue is not software first, but defining which customs processes should be centralized, based on a review of current goods flows, country differences, responsibilities, local exceptions, and existing internal controls.
  • Technology should be configured only after the target process is designed: decide what data should flow from ERP to customs systems, which checks can be automated, where human review is still needed, and how to monitor compliance and exceptions.
  • Centralised Clearance does not require identical customs processes everywhere; organizations may still need local variations to reflect different goods flows and operational requirements.
