The Union Customs Code (UCC) was adopted in 2013 and will become applicable as from 1 May 2016 subject to appropriate supplementing and implementing acts being put into place. These acts together with the UCC form a legal package which aims to improve the functioning of the EU customs union as a whole by enhancing the uniform application of the customs regulation throughout the customs territory of the EU by the Member States’ national customs services.
