  1. SEAP - Single electronic access point Enabling lodging of customs declarations across EU

  2. Current state • Single customs area, 26 customs administrations, 26 different systems. • EDI between customs administrations is standardized, EDI between administration and clients (external domain) is left to local implementation. • In Modernized Customs Code the electronic lodging of declarations is the norm.

  3. Current state • No legal obstacles - declaration can be lodged by any entity established in the customs territory ofthe Community. • The companies are not able to use single interface to customs wherever they are in EU for purely technical reasons. • Standardizing EDI between administrations and external domain is not priority agenda for EU (after 2013). • New challenges from 01.07.2009 with introduction of entry summary declaration.

  4. How to implement the SEAP? 1. Data to be exchanged has to be standardized: - analysisof the required message flow. Not all countrieshave same message flow - analysisof the data to be exchanged. Even the same messages sometimes require different data. - some procedures are more harmonised accrossEU countries than others 2. The common communication protocols and infrastructure have to be agreed upon. 3. The registration process is country-specific and there is currently no way around, but documentation and instructions should be provided.

  5. How to implement the SEAP – EurTradeNet way • This process requires cooperation with people and companies with knowledge of local customs systems. EurTradeNet is a just such a group of market-leading Customs-related Service Providers (CRSPs) that has already solved much of the steps required for SEAP and is already implementing a solution for lodging export declarations in Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Belgium and Slovenia. • Availability from begining 2009

  6. Who can benefit? • Any company that wants to perform customs procedures in different EU countries. Being able to use single software solution lowers barrier to entry - less integration necessary and less locally specific knowledge needed.

  7. The challenges? • Finding the partners for every EU country. • Covering as much customs procedures as possible - import will have to wait for AIS. • For exception handling and support there is still local provider needed. • Signing with personal digital certificates complicates operations.
