As the agency notes, the draft aims to partially transpose the provisions of European customs legislation and to establish a harmonised and unified procedural framework for the declaration, customs clearance and customs control of international postal items.

The new document will regulate a number of key aspects of international postal items:

– the electronic exchange of data between customs authorities and postal operators to simplify the declaration and customs clearance process;

– requirements for the data and information to be provided in customs declarations;

– the procedure for declaring and clearing international postal items;

– the mechanism for determining and collecting import duties, including methods of securing payment;

– procedures applicable to the export and return of goods;

– the allocation of responsibilities amongst those involved in the customs clearance of international postal items.

The Customs Service has called on all interested parties to take an active part in the public consultations on the draft regulations in order to improve their quality. These consultations will run until 21 September.
