EMCS 4.0 Update: Digital Revolution in EU Duty-Paid Transport

Navigating the complex world of EU excise goods transport? If you've been relying on the Excise Movement Control System (EMCS), prepare for transformative changes. As of 14 July 2023, the Horizontal Excise Directive (EMCS) enters its next phase. If your operations still hinge on older platforms or emergency procedures, this is a golden opportunity to pivot to cutting-edge customs software solutions, such as Gateway, designed for streamlined electronic declarations and efficient excise goods transport.

EMCS 4.0 and the Digital Leap: Insights You Can't Miss

Step into the future with EMCS 4.0, a monumental shift in the European excise goods transport landscape, debuting on 13 February 2023. At its heart? A commitment to digitising duty-paid goods transport, demanding transporters to embrace digital registration methods for both excise suspended and duty-paid consignments.

Challenges in early automation stages birthed an interim emergency procedure for duty-paid goods. Yet, this is set to sunset on 14 July 2023. For peak efficiency and compliance, channel your duty-paid goods declarations through Gateway. Already a user of alternative customs software? It's time to dialogue with your software vendor about the dynamic capabilities of the new EMCS.
