NCTS-P6 is a continuation of NCTS-P5. Implementation in the EU started in 2025. NCTS-P6 will be implemented in Sweden in the end of February 2026.
Entry in the declarant's records (EIDR) for export will be introduced on 26 February 2026, with a transition period that runs until 31 March 2026.
The level of details in these records must correspond with the requirements for a simplified declaration. There will also be a requirement to notify Swedish Customs whenever an entry is made in the declarant’s records.
Swedish Customs is enabling the Status query function as a system-to-system solution. Implementation is scheduled for the end of April 2026.
Swedish Customs is developing digital messages to facilitate the export process in a system-to-system solution. Implementation is scheduled for the end of April 2026.
From 1 July 2026, new rules apply to low-value consignments. This means that the relief from customs duty for goods worth €150 or less has been removed.
Centralised customs clearance will be implemented in two parts. The first part covered standard customs declarations and was introduced in Sweden in 2025. The second part covers simplified and supplementary declarations as well as entry in the declarant's records and will be introduced in Sweden on 1 September 2026.
ATA carnets are based on two international conventions (the ATA Convention and Annex A of the Istanbul Convention) which make it possible to simplify customs formalities in connection with the temporary entry and exit of goods in different countries. In Sweden, ATA carnets are issued by a competent chamber of commerce.
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has developed a digital system to replace the current paper-based system. The EU's goal is for all Member States to switch to electronic ATA carnets 1 June 2026. Globally, the transition will take place gradually. This means that ATA carnets will be handled both digitally and in paper format during a transition period.
A system-to-system (S2S) solution is being developed for cases where an exit summary declaration is required. An exit summary declaration must be submitted either to lodge a pre-departure declaration where there is no requirement to submit a customs declaration or a re-export declaration, or to supplement an already lodged export declaration that lacks security and safety data.
The system-to-system solution will be introduced at the end of 2026.
