Tuesday, October 27 | What businesses need to know about the EU Customs Union reform (9:00 a.m. CET/4:00 p.m. ET)

In this webcast, EY global trade professionals explore the key elements of the reform and their impact on compliance, data and supply chains, with practical insights to help businesses prepare.

This webcast is being delivered twice to accommodate participants across different time zones. Please select the session that best suits your location during registration.

Session one

27 October | 09:00 CET | 1 hour

Session two

27 October | 17:00 CET | 1 hour

EU customs rules are a comprehensive overhaul of the current framework, with far-reaching implications for businesses importing into and exporting from the EU. The reform introduces a new approach to compliance, changes to the role of the importer and a redesigned digital customs environment. These developments may particularly affect non-EU-established businesses and companies operating complex supply chains.

Both sessions will cover the same content and include time for Q&A.

Topics discussed include:

  • Key elements of the proposed reform of the EU Customs Union
  • Potential impact of the changes on current operating models
  • Implications for non-EU established businesses and the role of the importer
  • The proposed changes to compliance requirements including customs data reporting
  • Considerations for preparing your organization for the transition
