Netherlands Delays Centralised Clearance Imports to July 2026: What Businesses Need to Know

  • The Netherlands has delayed the rollout of Centralised Clearance Imports (CCI) from December 2025 to July 2026, mainly due to the introduction of the Digital Dossier in customs systems.
  • The Digital Dossier, launching in May 2026, will require all DMS declarants to exchange trade documents digitally, improving control and traceability.
  • Dutch Customs will start processing CCI permit applications from February 1, 2026, with a 120-day processing period.
  • Other EU countries like Belgium and Sweden have already implemented Centralised Clearance.
  • The delay gives Dutch businesses more time to prepare their processes, data, and IT systems for the transition to centralized customs declarations.
