Changes in customs regulation are reshaping how companies manage international trade across Europe. In Denmark, the introduction of a new customs system has required businesses to rethink both their processes and systems to ensure compliance while maintaining operational efficiency.
Mos Mosh, a long-term customer in customs operations, recently faced these changes as part of their ongoing development.
“The project started because of the transition to DMS Import and the changes it creates for companies like this,” says Kim Hansen, Business Development Manager at Logent. “Under the previous setup, the customer could handle EU sales through a consolidated monthly discharge. It was a simple and efficient way to run the warehouse.”
With DMS Import, that changed.
“As a general rule, goods now need to be discharged and customs handled before they leave the warehouse. For a business with continuous EU sales, that can quickly turn into daily administrative work and create operational bottlenecks.”
Protecting warehouse flow in a more complex environment
The new requirements introduced a higher level of complexity and a stronger dependency between warehouse operations and customs processing. Without adjustments, this would have reduced flexibility and slowed down daily operations.
To address this, the project focused on both system setup and customs authorisations, including obtaining AEOC certification.
“The solution was not just to obtain the certification, but to establish the right customs structure around it,” Kim Hansen explains.
AEOC certification, Authorised Economic Operator Customs Simplifications, gives companies access to a range of benefits, including simplified procedures, fewer controls and easier access to relevant authorisations. More importantly in this case, it enabled the use of a more flexible customs process.
“The key value for the customer was the ability to support a more flexible EIR process, Entry in the Declarant’s Records. With the right authorisations in place, they can maintain a smoother warehouse flow for their EU sales.”
In practice, this means that goods can continue to leave the warehouse on an ongoing basis, without each movement triggering the same level of immediate customs handling. Instead, part of the customs processing can be managed afterwards through supplementary declarations.
From compliance to operational continuity
The result is a setup that supports both compliance and day-to-day operations.
“The project was really about protecting the customer’s warehouse flow and reducing operational friction,” says Kim Hansen. “It ensures that their setup remains compliant while also being scalable under the new requirements.”
By combining system integration with AEOC certification and the right authorisation structure, Mos Mosh now has:
- more flexible warehouse operations
- reduced dependency on real-time customs processing
- improved ability to manage continuous EU sales
The outcome is a stronger customs position and a more future-proof operating model in a changing regulatory environment.
