Content of the course
The eLearning programme on the Union Customs Code (UCC) consists of a series of modules on three learning levels:
Level 1 provides an overview about the Union Customs Code (UCC). It focuses on key features, the impact on customs authorities and traders work and the main benefits for both.
Level 2 provides fundamental knowledge and describes the procedures for each specific customs domain as defined by the UCC.
Level 3 provides more expert knowledge and practical applications on specific topics, including the use of IT systems.
Who is this course for?
The course is addressed to both customs officers and economic operators in the European Union.
How was this course developed?
The UCC EU eLearning programme has been developed in order to support the implementation of the Union Customs Code (UCC) and its Delegated Act (DA) and Implementing Act (IA), which entered into force on 1 May 2016.
It was created and updated by the European Commission’s department for Taxation and Customs Union in collaboration with a pool of customs experts from national authorities and the private sector under the Customs 2020 Programme.
