Revenue confirmed that all relevant businesses completed their transition to the new customer declaration system, the Automated Import System (AIS). Since last Monday, 4 October, it is no longer possible to submit new import declarations via the system that predated AIS.
The new modernised system enables businesses that import goods from outside the EU to meet all the legal requirements of the EU Union Customs Code (UCC). Revenue confirmed the increased system capacity of AIS means that businesses can be confident that the significantly increased volumes of import declarations, arising mainly as a result of the UK leaving the EU, can be processed efficiently thus minimising the impacts of the very different trading environment that now exists between Ireland and Great Britain.
Revenue acknowledged the positive engagement of business representatives and individual businesses in a press release.
Technical information regarding switchover to AIS can be found in eCustoms Notification 48/21.
