Effectiveness, simplification and facilitation of trade are the most important principles of the Modernized Community Customs Code – Regulation (EC) No.952/2013, entering into force on 1.5.2016. The new code aims to rationalize and simplify customs legislation and procedures, to create conditions for more effective customs operations respecting the modern requirements, to create a new electronic paperless customs environment and to facilitate customs procedures for the legitimate trade. The global legislation reform and the implementation of entirely e-data exchange between customs and trade in EU, will transform the customs and customs-related processes and also the functioning of the Customs Union as a whole. The changes of customs business processes require a change of the e-customs systems.
