Customs Compliance & Risk Management (CCRM) journal for practitioners in Europe

Good customs decisions rest on current knowledge and depth - and both take continuous learning to maintain. Customs Compliance & Risk Management (CCRM) journal is how practitioners keep pace.

We publish new articles online continuously, gathered into an edition every two months. They follow what is changing in EU customs and trade compliance, alongside the jurisdictions that matter most to EU trade - the UK, the US and Ukraine among them. And they work through what it means in practice.

We go past the news to what a sound decision needs: what changed, why it matters, and what to do. Every article is grounded in primary law and written by a named expert. Country updates, CJEU rulings, and analysis of the regimes reshaping trade - the UCC, rules of origin, CBAM, e-commerce duty - build the knowledge practitioners draw on to decide with confidence.

The Editor-in-Chief is Enrika Naujokė, based in Lithuania. The Editorial Board brings together experts from several countries - among them Dr Ilona Mishchenko in Ukraine, Dr David Savage in Ireland, Ira Reese in the United States and Omer Wagner in Israel.

Outward processing is a procedure many practitioners treat as routine: Union goods leave the EU temporarily, are worked on abroad, and return with import duty charged on only part of their value. The relief is valuable - but it is conditional. Does it really matter which customs office the goods...
