A panel of top-level experts discusses the changes introduced by the recent customs reform, highlighting their importance in simplifying and modernizing a regulatory framework that has, until now, been fragmented and outdated. Key topics include strengthening compliance, introducing new protections for operators, adopting the Single Customs Window (Sudoco), and the new penalty system, which has been the subject of extensive debate due to its practical and legal implications. The reform requires companies to undertake a thorough review of their internal processes, demanding constant updating, specialized expertise, and integrated risk management.

A roundtable discussion focused on the new role of the AEO Corporate Customs Manager: a crucial opportunity to engage in a wide-ranging discussion on the challenges and opportunities related to customs compliance and the strategic role of the corporate customs manager, with a particular focus on AEO authorization. The growing complexity of regulations and the transformation of international trade require specialized expertise, continuous professional development, and a systematic approach to customs management. Training, internal awareness, collaboration between company departments, and dialogue with customs authorities are key elements for building secure, reliable, and competitive supply chains capable of meeting the new demands of digitalization, sustainability, and transparency in global markets. A major highlight was the launch of AssoAEO, the new association for all those who hold this important role of Authorized Economic Operator.
