In 2026, major EU and Dutch customs reforms will reshape the transport sector. New rules introduce a €3 duty on low‑value imports, stricter digital pre‑arrival data requirements, and full implementation of systems like Centralised Clearance, CERTEX, and CBAM. These changes increase pressure on carriers and forwarders to improve data accuracy, documentation, and compliance. Transport companies must prepare for tighter controls, new environmental reporting obligations, and updated commodity codes to keep goods moving smoothly across borders.
