Navigating 42 and other customs procedures in EU member states

Widespread differences in customs formalities across EU Member States mean that companies operating in multiple jurisdictions often have to manage operations on a country-by-country basis. During this roundtable, we will explore some of these variations and consider the future of standardisation. Topics include:

• France: recent amendments to the rules on the 42 procedure
• The Netherlands and the EU: progress on centralised clearance 
• Lithuania: new national IT system requirements for appointing a customs representative; and a national interpretation of “import” under restrictive measures

About customs roundtables

Customs is a complex area and it’s difficult to stay up to date with all the latest developments.

Customs roundtables are designed for the customs community to come together and exchange views regarding various areas of customs. This can be either specific cases and questions or wider industry trends. The discussions will go into technical details and will allow participants to learn from peers and exchange views and experiences. It’s an excellent opportunity to have an open discussion on some of the most pressing customs issues. We aim to create an open and supportive live forum that also offers the facility to continue discussions online.

We welcome customs experts and experts-to-be in all areas of customs (origin, valuation, special procedures etc) and from all backgrounds (legal, in-house, academic, consulting etc).

Register to the customs roundtables by signing up for a Membership Plan and get access to the CustomsClear Customs Practitioners’ Forum.
