The European Commission (EC) welcomed the new “EU Single Window Environment for Customs” to facilitate digital customs cooperation and trade
Posted on June 6, 2022 |
- The EC reached a provisional political agreement between the co-legislators on the new EU Single Window for Customs initiative, which will ease the exchange of electronic information submitted by traders from different authorities involved in goods clearance.
- Businesses will be able to submit customs and regulatory information for import, transit, or export of goods only once via a single point of entry.
- The importing of goods into the Union has many different authorities in charge of different policy areas, such as health and safety, the environment, agriculture, fisheries, cultural heritage, and market surveillance and product compliance due to which businesses have to submit information to several different authorities, each with its portal and procedures.
- This is unmanageable and time-consuming for traders and decreases the capacity of authorities to act in a joined-up way to combat risks.
- The EU Single Window will improve cooperation and coordination between customs and other non-custom authorities at EU borders, allowing automatic verification of non-customs formalities such as health and safety, environmental, and product compliance.
- It will digitalize and simplify the processes of goods entering and leaving the EU so that businesses will no longer have to submit documents to several authorities via different portals.
- The verification will assure EU-wide quota management and lower risks of fraud in the import or export of sensitive goods, such as high emission F-gas products.
- The COVID-19 crisis and the EU's unprecedented sanctions against Russia made it necessary to have agile and robust customs and non-custom processes.
