EU Customs Data Hub

EU customs declarations move from national systems to one central data hub, starting with e-commerce.

ForHeads of customs at importers, e-commerce platforms and customs brokers.

REGULATION

What’s changing, and when

The new Union Customs Code was published on 19 September 2026. It sets up an EU Customs Authority and a central EU Customs Data Hub. The hub opens for e-commerce in 2028 and for all other businesses in 2031. In 2034 it expands to all traders and becomes the single mandatory entry point for customs across the EU.

  1. Sep 2026 New customs code published
  2. 2028 Data hub opens for e-commerce
  3. 2034 Single mandatory entry point for all traders

Why it can’t happen in one step

Each member state runs its own customs systems today, so traders keep filing nationally while the hub opens to them group by group over several years.

How Polymonial carries you across

  • Declarations reach only the customs authorities entitled to them.
  • Customs records change format and keep their trust.
  • Trade records that cannot be quietly altered, from origin to border.
