      Strategically positioned for transit and distribution

      Belgium is home to the global headquarters of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) and places in the top 20 countries in the world for both imports and exports. Belgium is strategically located in the heart of the EU, making it a vital country for transit and distribution.

      Belgium is also the birthplace of CAS, Customs4trade’s centralised, collaborative platform designed to automate regional and worldwide customs declarations quickly and accurately, future-proofing customs compliance.

      Preparing for IDMS and EDMS (or AES)

      IDMS (Import Declaration Management System) is the new application that will replace PLDA for imports in Belgium. IDMS will comply with the new requirements of the EU Common Data Model for import declarations. EDMS/AES will be introduced for export, working towards the future digitalisation of customs processes set out in the Multi-Annual Strategic Plan for Customs (MASP-C).

      E-globalisation

      E-globalisation is a Union Customs Code (UCC) procedure that has been put into action in Belgium. It allows companies to consolidate their Entry in the Declarant’s Records (EiDR) messages on either a weekly or monthly basis instead of having to send every declaration per transaction. While “globalisation” has existed for a while, it has now been replaced with e-globalisation, which requires electronic filing. Using e-globalisation, goods can move without waiting for a release message from customs, saving you time in the declaration process, however some authorisations may need to be obtained first. Our experts can help you assess your processes to determine whether e-globalisation can simplify your customs clearance.
