On October 2, 2017, the European Commission announced a new pan-EU electronic Customs Decisions System (CDS).
The CDS “is to be used for all applications and decisions which may have an impact in more than one Member State, and for any subsequent event which may affect the original application or decision.” European Union member states may use the central CDS or will deploy their own system.
The new CDS “will increase process efficiency for all parties involved” while also simplifying business in the EU. The Customs Union will continue to modernize to promote job growth through trans-European IT systems.
