Common challenges

Customs offices across Europe handle several hundred million export procedures annually, with Export Accompanying Documents (EADs) playing a key role in clearance processes. Despite existing digital customs systems, cross-channel disruptions persist – especially when paper documents still accompany goods. End-to-end digital processing of EADs can significantly reduce costs, processing times, manual effort, paper use, and CO₂ emissions.
