The upcoming changes in the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS Phase 5) will come into effect in Belgium from January 21st 2025. These updates are part of the EU's effort to modernize and harmonize customs processes across member states and participating countries. Below is a summary of the key changes and what they mean for you.

The Belgian customs will implement the Automated Export System (AES) to replace the current PLDA Export system. This change will impact export, dispatch, and re-export after storage in customs bonded warehouse processes. Ensure your company is prepared for this transition.
