Customs

The Importance of customs policy for EU business competitiveness.

Customs policy plays a vital role in ensuring the competitiveness of European businesses. EU customs are essential for facilitating trade, protecting the Single Market, and safeguarding EU companies from unfair competition.

Striking the right balance between customs controls and the facilitation of legitimate trade is crucial. EU customs face mounting pressure from surging e-commerce volumes and the expanding scope of non-financial measures. The ongoing reform of Union Customs Code (UCC) is therefore more urgent than ever, and BusinessEurope fully supports it.
