With effect from July 2022, the Customs Declarations Management System (DMS) will replace the old declaration system (AGS). This marks the end of the Automated Periodic Declaration (GPA) and the Written Periodic Declaration (SPA).
The corona virus is a huge challenge for citizens and businesses. We notice that many wish to contribute to combating the virus, such as donating personal protective equipment (PPE) to care institutions. It is really needed as there is a substantial shortage.
Did you export cultural goods with an authorisation? Further to the corona crisis, it is not always possible that the goods return in time. The date specified in the authorisation cannot be met due to the amended rules and regulations for air cargo and freight traffic. You may apply for an extension of the authorisation to the Central Import and Export Office (CDIU).
From 26 May 2020, an export authorisation is no longer needed for certain items of personal protection equipment.
After the outbreak of the coronavirus in March, Customs scaled down its activities. This was based on government measures and the risks to employees’ health. The current government measures and the slowdown in the outbreak make it possible to gradually extend the enforcement activities. We are doing this in a safe and responsible way.
From July 2022, the Customs Declarations Management System (DMS) will replace the old declaration system (AGS). As a result, the Automated Periodic Declaration (GPA) and the Written Periodic Declaration (SPA) expire.
