A draft of the new Customs Code is expected to reach Parliament in April, signaling a new phase of trade governance reform. For importers and exporters, the main question is whether new rules improve predictability without adding excessive procedural friction.
If harmonized with EU practices, the reform can strengthen risk based control, digital declarations, and post clearance audit logic. That usually lowers time losses at the border for compliant operators while increasing accountability for high risk flows.
For business planning, companies should prepare early by updating documentation standards, broker workflows, and internal compliance checks. Transition costs are real, but firms that adapt faster typically capture gains through shorter clearance cycles and lower disruption risk.
