Douane & handel: douanehervormingen en hun impact op jouw realiteit.

Op 19 november ontmoet je in Antwerpen de beslissers en experts die de douanetoekomst mee vormgeven. Tijdens de 11de editie van het Douanecongres krijg je early insights in cruciale hervormingen zoals Customs Reform, Centralised Clearance, CERTEX en het nieuwe douanewetboek. Je maakt vanop de eerste rij kennis met de Europese en Belgische ontwikkelingen die binnenkort jouw business mee zullen bepalen.

Het Douanecongres geeft een heldere stand van zaken: van geopolitieke spanningen tot douanestrafrecht en de laatste wijzigingen in de herziening van de Algemene Wet douane en accijnzen. Je ziet de impact van deze ontwikkelingen vertaald naar risico’s én kansen voor jouw organisatie. Moderator Wim De Vilder loodst je vlot door het programma.

Customs operations are evolving faster than ever.

With EU Customs Reform, sustainability reporting, and growing digitalisation demands, modernising your customs function is no longer optional, it’s essential.

In this session, we will explore what modern customs operations could look like and guide you through a short self-assessment via poll questions that will help you benchmark where you are today across five key areas: People, Process, Data, Technology, and Governance/Compliance, helping you understand where your organisation stands on its modernisation journey.

You will also hear from Danone’s EU Customs and Trade Compliance Manager, who will share how Danone is driving its ongoing customs transformation, and how automation is helping them become more efficient, streamline processes, and gain greater visibility and compliance across their operations.

Tuesday 25th November, 2025
Time: 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET
