Regulation (EU) 2022/2399 establishing the EU Single Window Environment for Customs
was entered into force in November 2022. This Regulation provides a new legal framework
to improve information sharing and digital cooperation between customs authorities and
other government authorities (known as partner competent authorities) in charge of
enforcing non-customs regulatory formalities at the EU border in areas such as health and
safety, environmental protection, food and product safety, agriculture, etc. This, in turn,
will allow economic operators to clear certain customs formalities more easily.
The Regulation on the EU Single Window Environment for Customs came into effect in
December 2022. This Regulation makes it mandatory for the Member States to join the EU
Single Window Environment for Customs initiative by March 2025.
EU CSW-CERTEX supports the interconnection between Member States’ customs national
import/export/transit systems and several databases of partner DG, hosting several non-customs formalities (such as veterinary, sanitary, environmental, and other formalities).
Import of fluorinated greenhouse gases is one of the most complex domains, which is
available to the Member States’ customs via EU CSW-CERTEX.
The EU’s new advance cargo information system “Import Control System 2 (ICS2)” ensures
the security of European citizens and of the single market by supporting adequate risk-based customs controls.
The End-to-End (E2E) testing campaign is designed to execute the ICS2 business workflow
in a way that is as close as possible to real business operations, to ensure that the IT
system of the economic operators are functioning properly.
The EU Customs Trader Portal provides a user interface to the Traders with the
possibility to navigate to the specific modules and access the available actions in
order to start the communication with the Customs Authority.
The EU Customs Trader Portal is the single point of access to interact with EU
customs systems.
The EU's new advance cargo information system “Import Control System 2 (ICS2)”
supports the implementation of the new EU customs safety and security regulatory regime
aimed to better protect single market and EU citizens. It collects data about all goods
entering or transiting or transhipping the EU territory prior to their arrival through the ENS.
Customs Risk Management System (CRMS2) is a web application that enables you to rapidly exchange quality risk information with other customs officials across all countries.
CRMS2 is divided into some key areas known as domains: Risk Information Form - RIF, Crisis Management - CM, Priority Control Area – PCA, Risk Management Collaboration Service – RMCS, Platform of Risk & Control Information – PRCI, Reporting domain, User management and Administration Dashboard (only for National Administrators).
Centralised Clearance for Import simplification allows economic operators to lodge one customs declaration at one customs office regardless of where the goods are presented. The economic operator communicates only with the supervising customs office as single point of contact! The digitalisation of the Centralised Clearance for Import concept at EU level is achieved by the EU Centralised Clearance for Import, Phase 1 System, that implements the streamlined communication between the different Customs Offices in different Member States.
