As of June 2, 2025<\/strong>, centralized customs clearance has officially gone live across the entire European Union. This new system significantly simplifies customs operations for AEO-C certified companies<\/strong>. With this in place, businesses can now manage all their customs declarations through a single Customs Office \u2013 the one closest to their headquarters \u2013 regardless of which EU country their goods enter.<\/p>\n Centralized customs clearance was introduced by the Union Customs Code<\/strong> and is now operational thanks to EU Decision 2023\/2879<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In Italy, the Customs Agency (Agenzia delle Dogane)<\/strong> has implemented new rules for the centralized clearance system. They’ve outlined the necessary requirements, how to obtain authorization, and the control procedures (ADM Circular No. 23\/D of October 30, 2024).<\/p>\n Since April 14, 2025<\/strong>, a pilot program has been running nationwide to test the new system. It’s already active for standard customs declarations, provided that both the Customs Office of presentation<\/strong> and the Customs Office of control<\/strong> are located in Italy.<\/p>\n Centralized customs clearance offers numerous advantages for AEO-C certified companies. It allows them to submit customs declarations to their local Customs Office of control<\/strong>, even if the goods arrive at a different customs point. This streamlines operations, reduces costs, and centralizes customs procedures within a single, specialized office.<\/p>\n This new system champions digitalization<\/strong> and simplifies the management of customs formalities, especially for companies operating in multiple geographical areas. Businesses can now centralize their customs activities, benefiting from a more efficient and less bureaucratic process.<\/p>\n Contact us for your international shipping inquiries to and from Italy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Centralized Customs Clearance Now Active Across the EU As of June 2, 2025, centralized customs clearance has officially gone live across the entire European Union.
