THE British International Freight Association has announced in its newsletter that the introduction of the new European Union's Customs Code has been delayed.
"Implementing provisions for the Modernised Customs Code (MCC) are likely to be delayed beyond the current target date of June 2013," it said.
The objectives of the Modernised Customs Code are to enhance security at the EU's external borders and facilitate trade. That requires the simplification of customs legislation and the streamlining of customs procedures, using modern tools and technology to support the uniform application of customs legislation. For the purpose of both customs formalities and customs controls, paper-based information and processing would be only used under exceptional circumstances," BIFA said.
"A recent assessment of the state of definition of the customs processes to be computerised and of the technical and financial capacity of stakeholders to develop and deploy electronic systems for the purposes of the Modernised Customs Code, concluded that a very limited number of new systems can be introduced by the current target date of June 2013," the newsletter said.
