Impatex are no strangers to European Customs software.

We had a Danish and Dutch version of our Customs software over 20 years ago when the Single Administrative Document (SAD) was introduced in 1988, but the national differences with the data was so great that it was not viable to continue to address those markets. We did though continue to supply an Irish version of our Customs software until 1994 when the single market was introduced and there was no need for any Customs clearances on the border.

Since SAD Harmonisation was introduced in 2008/9, making most of the data elements the same and electronic messages mandatory across the EU, we have been developing our Integrated Customs for Europe (ICE) software, aimed at the larger, multinational ‘Corporate’ forwarders, initially for NCTS, EMCS and ICS and now for frontier exports and imports, and then Duty Management and Customs Processing with Economic impact (CPEI).
