EU cargo declaration
The European Union Advance Cargo Declaration Regime becomes effective on January 1st 2011.
This new regime will affect all freight imported into and exported out of Europe, as well as transhipment cargo. Customs controls are applied for an equal level of protection against terrorist attacks for all goods shipped through the EU similar to the advanced manifest regime ("24 hour rule") instituted by the United States' Trade Act of 2002 which followed the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
