Significant changes have recently been introduced to the Union Customs Code. This webinar recording explains the rationale behind these reforms and their practical implications for customs practitioners, with a particular focus on the EU's response to the rapid growth of e-commerce imports. The session covers the new €3 duty on low-value consignments, the abolition of the €150 duty exemption, changes to key customs definitions and declarant rules. It also provides an overview of other customs developments, including the Customs Single Window and the EU Customs Data Hub, as well as the latest changes affecting EU steel imports.
