The new Customs Code of the EU and its complementary rules have been in force since 1 May 2016. The fundamental objective is to consolidate the European economic integration by optimizing the customs procedures of the EU (Customs Union) as well as enhancing foreign trade.

The complementary rules of the new European Customs Code define the European customs procedures.

The new European Customs Code enhances the use of new information technologies and the role of the economic operators. The concept of customs value and exporter has been redefined.

The Customs regimes are referred to as special regimes and can be:
