The platform is sustained by technological standards and developments for message interchange between interoperable networks, Customs authorities information systems, and the information systems of the partners over a distributed backbone of national network interconnection. A crucial part in its success is the Unified Interchange Data Structure (UIDS) that provides a common framework for data representation.

The first stage has been the Message eXchange Service (MXS) focused in the management of customs procedures related messages -like in NCTS transit pre-alert from shipper to consignee, arrival notification, or unload report to the shipper-, and specific information services from national Customs-Related Solutions Providers (CRSP).

Our latest advance is the Common Access Point (CAP) that is being rolled out in different countries and makes possible to realise customs electronic procedures in different European countries from your local ETN provider.
