Pre-arrival Processes

Pre-arrival processes are quickly gaining importance, as several initiatives to improve the security and safety of the trade are being entered into the execution phase. Most prominent of those are the security and safety amendments to European Community Customs Code that prescribe the mandatory electronic lodgment of pre-arrival information for risk analysis purposes.

Efficient handling of the pre-arrival processes possesses challenges for both customs administrations and trade. New kind of information must be exchanged prior the arrival of goods. This requires the traders to establish new electronic ways for exchanging the information between themselves and the customs agencies.

CuE helps the customs authorities and traders to implement the pre-arrival processes:

•    lodgment of electronic entry summary declarations by traders

•    validation of electronic entry summary declarations

•    amendment of electronic entry summary declarations by traders

•    automatic and optional manual risk-analysis of the pre-arrival information and the assignment of controls by the customs authorities.
