What are the main implementation foreseen for import customs?

“The new customs import bill, together with the further innovations that will be introduced by the Customs Agency during 2022 and the following years, will constitute a centralized and integrated system of customs management of goods towards the other ministerial bodies operating on ports, airports and border customs and the bodies involved in the customs management of goods,” Franco and Michele Andreetto explain.

The new system also provides nine different messages in XML format and additional information regarding the subjects involved and additional codes according to the type of operation. Compared to the old import system, it is possible to parcel the sending of the declaration, making partial sending of the same bill. The new customs declaration is able to accept 999 singles, compared to 40 in the previous version. It is then possible to receive the release for single and to manage the rectification and the cancellation of the declaration by telematics.
The customs reception system uses the latest international standards, through web service technology. Authentication and signature of declarations are based on high level security standards and on certificates and digital signatures issued by Certification Authorities recognized at EU level. Moreover, access to customs portals is exclusively through Spid authentication or National Services Card.
