AIS V2 (Revised Annex B) and Centralised Clearance Phases 1 and 2
How to prepare your business for changes
Customs software
Submission of messages into Revenue’s AIS and CCI can be done either:
- 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
- new message numbers
- and
- new formats for existing messages.
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 and the CCI.
Key message
As a trader, you should start your preparations early in order to be ready for when these systems go live. Specifications have been published so now is the time to engage with your software provider to ensure that your systems are updated. Our Public Interface Test (PIT) will be made available for testing in Q1 of 2025.
