FOCUS ON THE OVERHAUL OF CUSTOMS IT SYSTEMS : NEW DELTA IE

Following the implementation of the EU Customs Code (UCC) on May 1ᵉʳ, 2016, French Customs is working on an overhaul of the Customs IT systems in order to centralize the customs clearance process at the European level.

Indeed, with this overhaul of the Customs IT Systems, the Single Administrative Document (SAD) will be completely abandoned and will make way for new customs clearance processes: An import customs declaration (H1) and an export declaration (B1).

This new system called DELTA IE (import-export) will be operational as of January 1ᵉʳ, 2023 in simple customs clearance. It should be generalized by 2025.

By creating this new specialized service, available as of 1ᵉʳ May 2022, the DGDDI confirms its mobilization to secure French origin markings and the enhanced use of trade agreements by companies.
