When a customs declaration arrives or a shipment is presented for customs control, the risk analysis procedure activates. It describes the concrete workflow: data entry and validation, matching against risk indicators and sanctions lists, scoring and threshold evaluation, and determination of whether physical inspection is required or release can be granted. Importers and forwarders must maintain clear documentation of this procedure so that any customs inquiries can be answered transparently and reproducibly. Unlike a strategic risk approach, this is the actual step-by-step operational execution that applies to each individual shipment.
