E-commerce to be handled faster at Amsterdam Schiphol with new system
A NEW simplified e-commerce declaration called VENUE has been launched by Dutch Customs at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in collaboration with the local cargo community.
VENUE has been designed to help shippers import and export items purchased on line throughout the Union Customs Code transition period, which ends in January 2021, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
VENUE-authorised shippers are able to submit a pre-declaration leaving out one or more particulars, such as the Harmonised System (HS) code, and with goods valued at EUR22 (US$24.54) or less requiring no supplementary declaration. Particulars are provided to customs in a supplementary declaration of a periodic nature, reducing administrative time and costs.
"Together with Dutch Customs we are engaged in cooperating with stakeholders at the airport to find new ways of working which can further improve efficiencies," said Schiphol development chief Saskia van Pelt.
"The air cargo market is changing and we are seeing a huge increase in e-commerce parcels. At Schiphol we are focused on ensuring we continue to provide a high quality, efficient service for our e-commerce customers and VENUE will help us to do just that."
