AGS to DMS– Simplify the transition, ensure compliance
As the rather lengthy transition from AGS to DMS continues for Dutch Customs, we are keeping you informed of the latest updates for the DMS 4.0/4.1 migration. Our DMS Insider Guide tells you everything you need to know about the changes.
Traders that previously used the globalisation possible in the GPA/SPA system in combination with an Entry in the Declarant's Records (EiDR) or a customs warehousing authorisation must choose whether to keep their current customs authorisations or not. This will impact the way in which they will be able to manage their declarations processes.
DMS forces traders to make use of new data sets aligned with the UCC. The declarations that can be made under this model include all types of import, export, and storage declarations, with the exception of EiDR, and will allow declarants to lodge declarations in real time.
DMS 4.1 allows traders to perform EiDR (IIAA, Inschrijving in de Administratie van de Aangever) declarations with or without the so-called chain arrangement (ketenregeling). These declarations consist of several main elements: the presentation notification (aanbrengbericht), followed by an EiDR and, after 10 days, a supplementary declaration. Throughout the process, an audit file of your stock records must be maintained in a way that is prescribed by customs. DMS requires a different mindset compared to GPA/SPA with slightly different flows. Traders need to know their volumes, think in terms of processes, and be aware that timing is key.
