The Customs software package is intended for the production of customs documents and their electronic interchange with the Customs Information System. In addition to the required information, the package also offers the possibility to enter internal data, and to group documents in the Position folder module.
The EU Customs Data Model (EUCDM) is aligned with the World Customs Organisation Data Model (WCODM).
Goods may be cleared at the border customs clearance department or, after presentation to the border customs authorities, they may be placed under a transit procedure and transported to a destination in the EU customs territory where they will be placed under the customs procedure of their choice.
Once the goods have been presented to the customs office of destination, they must be placed under one of the customs procedures.
The declarant may lodge a customs declaration for the following customs procedures: release for free circulation, a special procedure (transit, customs warehousing, free zone procedure, temporary importation, special use, inward processing, outward processing) or export.
Main features:
- EU Integrated Tariff – TARIC,
- integrated code lists required by EU and national legislation,
- integrated national taxes (value added tax, excise duties, environmental taxes, motor vehicle tax, etc.),
- automatic updates of certain code lists by FURS,
- automated levy calculation,
- automatic notification of the participants in the customs procedure by e-mail at the end of the customs procedure.

- non-preferential origin (statistical, commercial) which does not offer customs benefits
- preferential origin, which is linked to tariff preferences; in the context of the rules governing preferential origin, a further distinction must be made between rules providing for reciprocal preferential treatment between the EU and third countries and rules providing for unilateral preferential treatment by the EU.

For the specifics on how to make an import or export declaration, see AIS – Automated Import System and AES – Automated Export System.
WAREHOUSE
Goods placed under customs control but not cleared for import are stored in a customs warehouse. This procedure has the advantage of delaying the payment of customs duties and taxes, as the duties are only levied when the goods are released from the warehouse for free circulation. If such goods are re-exported, there are no customs and tax obligations at all.
Type D warehouse
The warehouse is implemented within the Book Entry module and supports the functionalities of a customs warehouse type D – private customs warehouse.
The records are quantitative and are kept at item level. Inventories are disclosed using the FIFO method.
Main features:
- operation integrated in the Book Entries module – no additional records
- KVs with procedure 71 are the entrance to the bonded warehouse – the stock balance is increasing
- IP 71 represents the exit from the bonded warehouse – the stock balance is decreasing.
- automatic inlet unbundling
- automatic connection of outputs to inputs
- customs records by article code and by AIS 71 entry
LOCAL

The arrival application covers arrival in the customs territory of the European Union: recording the entry of consignments into the EU, recording the arrival of consignments in the customs clearance department and other recording of goods in the customs clearance department.
The departure application covers departure from the customs territory: recording the exit of consignments from the EU and recording the departure of consignments from the customs clearance department.

INTRASTAT
Intrastat is a statistics on trade in goods between the Member States of the European Union, in which data on trade in goods are collected monthly using statistical forms (intrastat returns) directly from the reporting units. Intrastat was introduced in 1993 with the introduction of the Common European Market, when data on trade in goods between Member States could no longer be obtained from customs declarations due to the abolition of internal borders (EUL customs declarations continue to be used as a data source for statistics on trade in goods between the European Union and third countries). EUL customs declarations are used as a data source for statistics on trade in goods between the European Union and third countries.

EMCS – Movement of excise products
EMCS allows the control of movements of excise goods (alcohol, tobacco and energy products) within the European Community, which is at the heart of excise legislation. The basic principle is that all consignments of excise goods on which excise duty has not yet been paid can move within the European Community under duty suspension only between authorised economic operators. This means that economic operators carrying out activities relating to excise goods must register with the competent control authority and obtain the relevant excise duty licence, which allows them to receive and dispatch excise goods under suspension of excise duty.
EMCS - Movement of excise goods under suspension of excise duty within the EU
