Reform of the Unions Customs Code

The reform of the Unions Customs Code (UCC) is intended to make the heart of the EU, the Customs Union, fit for the future. It aims to create one digital customs system and to enable a uniform interpretation and implementation of European customs regulations.

Bitkom welcomes the reform of the UCC as it has the potential to deliver a more efficient, secure and business-friendly Customs Union. However, achieving this goal will require a common interpretation of the UCC by Member States and the actual implementation of various proposed improved customs mechanisms. We also recommend prioritising the security of the data hub and working closely with business in implementing the reform.
