# EU Updates Digital Customs Data Model to 7.0.11 **Category:** Customs Processes | **Source:** Europäische Kommission, GD TAXUD | **Published:** 2026-09-23 | **Updated:** 2026-09-27 **Tags:** EUCDM 7.0.11, EU-Zoll, NCTS, AES, ICS, Kleinsendungen, Zollsoftware, Datenmodell, E-Commerce, Logistik News, Transport News, Fracht News, Speditions News, Supply Chain News, Zoll News, Frachtportal News, Digitalisierung, Zoll > EUCDM 7.0.11 standardizes customs data for NCTS, AES and ICS. Companies should check when their national software will adopt the new fields. --- The EU Commission has published version 7.0.11 of the European Customs Data Model. EUCDM stands for "European Union Customs Data Model". The model describes which data fields and codes are used in European customs procedures. EUCDM connects requirements from multiple systems. These include NCTS for the transit procedure, AES for exports, and ICS for security data in imports. National customs clearance systems also align with it. The objective is to ensure that the same information is understood as uniformly as possible across member states. Version 7.0.11 incorporates amended rules for temporary duty relief on distance sales in shipments with a commodity value of up to 150 euros. Additionally, representations have been improved and minor discrepancies with published legal texts have been corrected. Data sets and code lists are available in structured XML format. For customs authorities and software providers, it is important to note: The data model itself does not replace the legal basis. There is also no single EU-wide switchover date for all applications. Practical implementation depends on the procedure concerned, the national customs administration, and the respective software release. Companies should therefore not simply check off "Version 7.0.11 installed". They must verify which declarations they submit, which fields are changing, and when the national customs system will require this information. Test cases based on real commodity and procedure scenarios are advisable. --- Customs brokers should ask their software provider about mapping the new fields. IT and business departments must review NCTS, AES, and ICS processes separately. For small shipments up to €150, tax logic, tariff data, and product information are particularly important. Before going live, testing with error responses from customs systems is required. In short: EUCDM 7.0.11 is the blueprint for customs data, but the specific implementation deadline comes from the respective procedure. --- The EU Commission published EUCDM 7.0.11 in August 2026. The model harmonizes data requirements in EU customs systems. It covers NCTS, AES, and ICS, among others. The update accounts for new rules on shipments up to EUR 150. Minor discrepancies with legal texts have been corrected. Code lists and datasets are available as XML. The data model is not in itself the sole legal basis. National implementation dates and software releases remain decisive. ## Related Entities ### Countries - [Austria](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/at) - [Belgium](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/be) - [Bulgaria](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/bg) - [Croatia](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/hr) - [Cyprus](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/cy) - [Czechia](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/cz) - [Denmark](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/dk) - [Estonia](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/ee) - [Finland](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/fi) - [France](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/fr) - [Germany](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/de) - [Greece](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/gr) - [Hungary](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/hu) - [Ireland](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/ie) - [Italy](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/it) - [Latvia](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/lv) - [Lithuania](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/lt) - [Luxembourg](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/lu) - [Malta](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/mt) - [Netherlands](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/nl) - [Poland](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/pl) - [Portugal](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/pt) - [Romania](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/ro) - [Slovakia](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/sk) - [Slovenia](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/si) - [Spain](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/es) - [Sweden](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/se) - [Switzerland](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/ch) ### Glossary - [Export](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/export) - [Import](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/import) - [Shipment](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/shipment) - [Shipping procedure](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/shipping-procedure) - [Goods](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/goods) - [Customs clearance](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-clearance-5) - [customs system](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-system) - [customs system](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-system-2) - [customs procedures](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-procedures) - [Customs Clearance Systems](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-clearance-systems) - [Customs clearance](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-clearance-2) - [Deviation](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/deviation) - [Data Model](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/data-model) - [EU Customs Data Model](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/eu-customs-data-model) - [NCTS (New Computerised Transit System)](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/ncts-new-computerised-transit-system) - [ICS2](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/ics2) - [Low-value consignment](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/low-value-consignment) - [AES (EU Automated Export System)](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/aes-eu-automated-export-system) - [Code list](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/code-list) --- *Canonical URL: [https://www.freight-academy.com/en/news/eu-aktualisiert-das-digitale-zolldatenmodell-auf-7011-20260919085252](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/news/eu-aktualisiert-das-digitale-zolldatenmodell-auf-7011-20260919085252)* *Markdown mirror: [https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/news/en/eu-aktualisiert-das-digitale-zolldatenmodell-auf-7011-20260919085252](https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/news/en/eu-aktualisiert-das-digitale-zolldatenmodell-auf-7011-20260919085252)*
