NEW PLANNING IS UNDERWAY

VERSION FRANÇAISE

On-line services under development

ICS 2 (import control system) Release 2

Phase 2 of ICS2 for air cargo was launched in France on 1 July 2023.

ANTES (presentation notification and temporary storage) for air cargo

Presentation notifications and declarations for temporary storage of goods transported by air will have to be made via the new ANTES system. This system will first be subject to a two-month pilot phase with a limited number of operators and customs offices.

This system will be completed at a later stage to enable operators to submit their re-export notification.

Delta T (NCTS - new computerised transit system - Phase 5)

The online service for the management of transit declarations (DELTA T) will be adapted to the UCC "phase 5" standards and operators will have a period of adaptation to comply with these new standards.

Delta IE - Import (NIS - national import system)

To take into account the changes introduced by the UCC on imports (NIS Update), a new online customs clearance service DELTA Import-Export (DELTA I/E) will be opened. Operators will be able to submit their import declarations. Use of DELTA I/E will then become mandatory.

Delta IE - Export (AES - automated export system)

DELTA I/E will extend to export and exit monitoring processes, with a transitional phase for operators.

Other projects

The French Customs modernisation programme also includes:

  • A project to simplify the issuing of authorisations, the EORI number as well as rules for accessing Customs' online services.
  • For the management of computerised exchanges in the case of operators using EDI-connected systems, the gradual replacement of Mareva (messaging system for the exchange of EDI messages) by the GUN (enterprise service bus), as new online services are introduced.

On-line services in analysis phase

ICS 2 (import control system) release 3

ICS2 will cover all other modes of transport in the second quarter of 2024.

ANTES (presentation notification and temporary storage) for all other modes of transport

The ANTES system will be generalised to all modes of transport in the second quarter of 2024.

Delta T (NCTS - new computerised transit system - phase 6)

Phase 6 of the NCTS is planned for the second quarter of 2025.

Delta IE (CCI - centralised clearance for import)

Centralised import clearance will be introduced in two phases. Phase 1, which includes standard and simplified customs declarations, will be offered to operators in DELTA I/E. Phase 2, which covers, inter alia, the entry in the declarant's records and excise goods, will be introduced at a later stage.

Delta IE (CCE - centralised clearance for export)

Centralised export clearance will be implemented through DELTA I/E.

GUM (guarantee management)

Components 1 (management of comprehensive guarantees) and 2 (national guarantee management) will be implemented on 1st of January 2025.

PoUS (proof of Union status)

Proof of EU status will be introduced in two phases. T2L/Fs will be digitised first and phase 2 will be extended to customs manifests.
