After logging in through eDouane, users can access key LUCCS modules, including the LUCCS–NIS (National Import System) for submitting import declarations, the LUCCS–Export module for lodging export declarations, and the LUCCS–Transit (NCTS) module for handling Union transit procedures.

Yes. You need a valid Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number to submit customs declarations in Luxembourg.
The EORI number is mandatory for all companies carrying out customs formalities within the European Union, including Luxembourg.
Any business importing, exporting, or placing goods under transit procedures in Luxembourg must use its EORI number for every declaration submitted through LUCCS (including NIS, Export, and Transit).
If you don’t yet have an EORI number, you can apply for one with the customs authority of the EU Member State where your company is established. Once issued, the number is valid throughout the entire European Union.
