Definition & Explanation

Customs brokers, freight forwarders, and customs authorities all operate within electronic declaration systems where each filing carries an explicit status value. A customs declaration status change occurs whenever that value is updated to reflect a shift in processing—most commonly when a provisional declaration is converted to a definitive one, when an amendment is filed, or when a correction is applied by the authority. Every transition is logged in the system audit trail and typically triggers automated notifications to declarants, carriers, and other parties in the supply chain. The distinction from customs declaration status is important: status describes a snapshot, while a status change describes the transition event. Permissible transitions and their triggers differ by declaration type and national customs IT architecture.
