The DMS Insider Guide

To comply with the Multi-Annual Strategic Plan (MASP) and the accompanying Union Customs Code (UCC) legal requirements, Dutch customs has migrated to a new declaration system. DMS 4.0 replaced the AGS declaration system, and DMS 4.1 replaced the GPA and SPA processes. These changes require technology-driven processes that can cope with the new, highly automated, real-time declarations.

For businesses operating in the Dutch customs landscape, this migration represents one of the most significant changes to declaration processes in recent years. The shift away from legacy systems is not simply a technical upgrade; it demands a fundamental rethink of how customs declarations are prepared, submitted, and managed. Organisations that are slow to adapt risk disruption to their operations, compliance gaps, and delays that can have a knock-on effect across their entire supply chain.

Understanding exactly what has changed, what the new system requires, and how to align your processes and technology accordingly is essential for staying compliant and competitive. Whether you are just beginning to assess the impact on your organisation or are already mid-transition, having a clear and practical overview of DMS makes all the difference.
