Definition & Explanation

A customs system goes live when, after testing and official authorization, it is released for actual customs clearance operations. At this point, traders and freight forwarders can submit customs declarations electronically, goods are registered digitally, and customs authorities process controls and releases in real time. System activation is typically a coordinated event at national or EU level, affecting multiple agencies and thousands of users simultaneously – with significant delay risks if issues emerge.
