Descartes is proud to announce that we have been approved as a system provider by Customs for the new TESS import system. Descartes customs solution GCT (Global Customs and Transport) has been approved by the Customs for SCTS-IMPORT (IMDS, IMDP, IMDR, IMDA, IMDC).
The Swedish customs has previously announced that the old import system will run until 31 December 2022, which means that all changes must be implemented before the end of the year.
This means that the Swedish customs has approved that our tests for the specific message were correct at the time of testing. We are now making the transition to the new import system with selected pilot customers, before rolling it out to all our customers.
