Are you based in the Free Zone around Schiphol? And do you still make NCTS declarations? Or do you contract your customs declarations out? Have you ever considered dealing with your declarations according to the Document Free Goods Tracing System (DGVS)?

The objective of DGVS is the tracing of the movement of goods between the 1^st and 2^nd line warehouses whereby the underlying information remains stored.

DGVS gives the possibility to report the movement of goods between 1^st and 2^nd line warehouses to the Customs authorities. With this, there’s no need to make NCTS declarations (customs transport) for the movement of the goods in the Free Zone for incoming and outgoing airfreight shipments.

Paper documents are not used anymore. Communication with the Customs authorities is made using electronic data exchange (in and out going). Within myUnidoc.eu, the software for customs declarations, a possibility exists to also process DGVS declarations besides regular Sagitta and NCTS declarations.  According to official research reports, declaration with DGVS within the Free Zone at Schiphol saves more than 300,000 declarations per year and yields 4 million euro worth of burden relief.
