AIS V2 (Revised Annex B) and Centralised Clearance Phases 1 and 2
How to prepare your business for changes
Customs software
You can submit messages (including CCI messages) into AIS V2:
- through your own internally developed and supported customs software
- or
- through software provided by an external systems provider.
It is important to be familiar with:
- the content and structure of the new declarations, including the new data elements
- new message types and code lists
- and
- new message numbers.
If you employ a customs agent to manage your customs formalities, you should ensure that the software your agent uses can interface with the AIS V2.
