Division II The work programme (for the Union Customs Code)

The project aims to make available up-to-date information on Registered Exporters established in GSP countries exporting goods to the EU. The system will also include data about EU traders for the purpose of supporting exports to GSP countries.

The project aims at providing an upgrade of the BTI system and Surveillance 2 system to ensure the

• alignment of the EBTI-3 system to the UCC requirements,

• extension of Surveillance data,

• monitoring of the compulsory BTI usage,

• monitoring and management of BTI extended usage.The project will be implemented in two phases.

The first phase will cover the core parts to fulfil the obligation of BTI usage control by means of a reduced dataset and the alignment to the customs decisions process.

The second phase will implement the full scope for monitoring by means of a full data set and will provide for traders an EU harmonised trader interface to submit the BTI application and receive the BTI decision electronically.

The project aims to harmonise the processes related to the application for a customs decision, the decision taking and the decision management through standardisation and electronic management of application and decision/authorisation data across the European Union. The system will facilitate consultations during the decision taking period and the management of the authorisations process.

The goal of this project is to provide working solutions for a direct and EU harmonised trader access as a service to be integrated in the electronic customs systems as defined in the specific UCC projects such as UCC BTI/Surveillance 2+ and UCC Customs Decisions. It includes support for identity, access and user management compliant with the necessary security policies, potentially complemented by the support for digital signatures.

The project aims at the creation of a new European wide Information System to store, manage and retrieve the Proof of Union Status document. It envisages replacing the paper form T2L by electronic means.

The project aims to improve the business processes related to AEO applications and authorisations taking into account the changes of the legal provisions of the UCC and the harmonisation of the customs decision taking procedure.

This project aims at providing an upgrade of the Surveillance 2+ system to ensure its alignment to the UCC requirements such as the standard exchange of information by electronic data-processing techniques and the establishment of adequate functionalities needed for processing and analysing the full surveillance dataset obtained from Member States.

Therefore it will include further data mining capabilities and reporting functionalities to be made available to Commission and Member States.

The aim of this project is to align the existing NCTS system to the new UCC requirements such as the alignment of information exchanges to UCC data requirements and the update and development of interfaces with other systems.

The aim of the project is to further develop the existing Export Control System in order to implement a full AES that would cover the business requirements for processes and data brought about by the UCC, inter alia, the coverage of simplified procedures, split exit consignments and centralised clearance for export. It is also envisaged to cover the development of harmonised interfaces with Excise Movement System (EMCS) and NCTS. As such, AES will enable the full automation of export procedures and exit formalities.

The aim of this project is to develop a new centralised system to support and streamline the processes of INF data management and the electronic handling of INF data in the domain of Special Procedures.

This project aims at accelerating, facilitating and harmonising Special Procedures across the Union by means of providing common business process models. This project will aim to implement all UCC changes required for customs warehousing, end-use, temporary admission, inward and outward processing. As regards the electronic solutions for handling Special Procedures data, these will be mainly established at national level.

The goal of this project is to define the processes for Notification of Arrival of the means of transport, Presentation Notification and Declaration for Temporary Storage and to support harmonisation in this respect across Member States as regards the data exchange between trade and customs and, where required, between customs administrations. Where the processes do not involve more than one Member State, the process implementation is solely a national matter.

This project aims to allow for goods to be placed under customs procedure using Centralised Clearance, allowing economic operators to centralise their business from a customs viewpoint. The processing of the customs declaration and the physical release of the goods should be coordinated between the related customs offices.

This project aims to assure the effective and efficient management of valid comprehensive guarantees that may be used in more than one Member State and the monitoring of the reference amount for each customs declaration, supplementary declaration or an appropriate information of the particulars needed for the entry in the accounts for the existing customs debts for all customs procedures as provided for in the Union Customs Code, except Transit which is handled as part of the NCTS project.

The goal of this project is to strengthen the safety & security of the supply chain in areas that have been identified, in all modes of transport and especially air cargo, by means of improving data quality, data filing, and data availability and sharing. The full risk analysis framework will also be improved by optimising the cargo data put at the disposal of customs authorities and the exchange of risk related information. It will lead to changes to systems such as the Import Control System and the Community Risk Management System with possible extension to new modules.

The project aims at developing a tariff classification information system with a consultation module which would provide a single platform where all the classification information (regardless of the nature) is made available and easy accessible. This will enable economic operators, in particular SMEs, and MS' customs authorities to find more easily the relevant classification information.
