The event is set for Wednesday 13​th of November, from 16:30 to 18:00 CET.

Join us for an insightful roundtable on the EU’s transformative Customs Reform, which presents a cutting-edge, data-driven approach to simplifying customs processes while ensuring the safety and security of EU citizens and businesses. This reform responds to the growing pressures faced by the EU Customs Union, including the rise of e-commerce, the increasing number of EU standards, and evolving geopolitical realities. 

The EU Customs Reform introduces a groundbreaking partnership with businesses via the new EU Customs Data Hub.

This allows for smarter, more targeted customs checks, ensuring that only goods that pose risks to the EU’s security, environment, and economy are intercepted. The reform will also empower online platforms to manage customs duties, simplifying processes for both businesses and consumers.
