On the 1st of April 2010, EMCS (Excise Movement and Control System), a new electronic system for monitoring the movement of excise goods under duty suspension, will be going live. The EMCS system will replace the existing paper AAD (Accompanying Administrative Document) that currently accompanies these types of movements. Economic operators engaged in excise duty suspended movements within the EU must have EMCS software to record the receipt of such goods electronically by the 1st of April 2010. All such economic operators must have an EMCS Software capable of both submitting and receiving all relevant EMCS messages by 1 January 2011.

From 1st Jan 2012 EMCS traders will be able to send and receive new messages for 'alert' and 'rejection' of movements, whilst traders moving energy products will be able to split a movement. Most of this essential functionality will not be supported via the Customs EMCS website.

As part of EMCS phase 3 a new EMCS Guarantee Management System (GMS) is being introduced. This means your guarantee account is debited until the entry is discharged. myCustoms gives you full visibility on these movements with guarantee balance lookups and alerts.
